Author: Rene Goscinny
Opening Pages:
Introduction to the unchanging Gaulish village, the year 50 B.C., and the Roman occupation.
Introduction of the main characters: Asterix, Obelix, Getafix, Cacofonix, Vitalstatistix, etc.
The Roman Plot:
Introduction of Caius Preposterus, a young and ambitious Roman graduate from the School of Applied Economics, sent by Caesar to pacify the Gauls through economic means rather than military force.
Preposterus's idea: Corrupt the Gauls by introducing capitalism and consumerism, starting with Obelix's menhirs.
Obelix's Menhir Business:
Preposterus convinces Obelix that his menhirs are valuable and offers to buy them, creating a demand.
Obelix becomes a "rich" businessman, expanding his production and hiring villagers.
Economic Disruption in the Village:
The villagers become obsessed with making and selling menhirs, leading to greed, competition, and a breakdown of traditional Gaulish values.
Asterix and Getafix observe the negative changes and try to understand what's happening.
Roman Market Manipulation:
Preposterus floods the Roman market with cheap menhirs, causing the price to crash.
The Gauls, including Obelix, face economic ruin and start bickering amongst themselves.
The Gauls' Return to Normality:
The economic scheme ultimately fails as the Gauls realize the folly of their new consumerist ways.
They return to their traditional life, feasts, and fighting Romans, having learned a valuable lesson about the dangers of unchecked capitalism.
Roman Aftermath:
Caius Preposterus is deemed a failure by Caesar, reinforcing the idea that simple economic principles might not apply to stubborn Gaul
