Brotherz

From the first time in suburban New York that he could count money, extravert Nick knew the art of getting more of it while at the same time being popular, and maintaining moral standards in a realm of social/ economic competition where taking care of family/country first is essential. Introvert and ‘above all do no harm’ aspiring twin brother Global Socialist George was always service rather than profit oriented, devoting his life as an artist/scientist to discovering Truths about humanity and medical science, while being pathologically ignorant of the world as it is. The two politically and ideologically mismatched brothers serve and help each other as pre-teens and teens. But the bond is tested, then destroyed by first a woman both of them desire in different ways, then a world that puts Capitalists and Socialists into opposing camps that have stopped listening to each other. As the boys grow into manhood, they each become internationally-recognized leaders of their conflicting ideologies in a war of wits and wills regarding biomedical technology which can save the world, or destroy it.
