| haute house - |
(pronounced, "'out hawse"). An entity that presents, to the common eye, a tower of dignity, style, strength and success, while, in actuality, is, behind the fake facade, a habitat built on unbridled greed and rapaciousness. Here dwells a system that devours human capital and resources, and, within its walls, holds corruption and foul morality. It can be as small as a "one-hole-r" (viz. Madoff Capital) or as large as a political state.

Craig felt an internal shiver. Well, it was great while it lasted. When the real estate bubble collapsed, the unthinkable happened. Berer Schoene, the majestic, secure bastion of the financial world, got pulled down also. Craig, and thousands of his compatriots, lost their jobs.
Craig turned up the collar of his raincoat as a windy rain swirled around the New York City street. "Hey," he said to himself with a smile, "I'm a great salesman and I'm not yet 50 years old. There's a new Haute House out there just waiting for me!" |
