Title: Eat the Rich Pdf A Treatise on Economics
In this book, renowned political humorist P. J. O’Rourke, author of Parliament of Whores and How the Hell Did This Happen? leads us on a hysterical whirlwind world tour from the “good capitalism” of Wall Street to the “bad socialism” of Cuba in search of the answer to an age-old question: “Why do some places prosper and thrive, while others just suck?” With stops in Albania, Sweden, Hong Kong, Moscow, and Tanzania, P. J. takes a look at the complexities of economics with a big dose of the incomparable wit that has made him one of today’s most refreshing commentators.
“O’Rourke has done the unthinkable: he’s made money funny.” —Forbes FYI
“[O’Rourke is] witty, smart and—though he hides it under a tough coat of cynicism—a fine reporter . . . Delightful.” —The New York Times Book Review
A Winsome and Accessible Defense of the Free Market I gave O'Rourke's book to my early-college aged daughter as part of her introduction to classical free market economics, along with Niall Ferguson's "The Ascent of Money" and Milton and Rose Friedman's "Free to Choose". I first read this book when it was new, and it continues to offer a winsome and accessible explanation of the principles underlining free market capitalism. As is typical someone who started his journalistic career as a writer for National Lampoon, O'Rourke's writing can be as profane as it is profound, and sometimes comes across as though it was written by a college sophomore--but one who has an extraordinary grasp of economic realities. I would not recommend it as the last word one would read for an apologia of classical economics, but it provides a good framework for later studies in more, shall we say, serious works. The last chapter alone is worth the price of admission.Just a fun jaunt around the world Not a reason in the world why you wouldn't want to read this. His right-wing politics are always hovering, but rarely intrude. Just a fun jaunt around the world, and I bet it was deductible, too. Could easily be paired with Michael Moore's "Who to Invade Next".PJ O'Rourke is as fun to read as he is informative! PJ O'Rourke is brilliant. His essays teach economics, with humor, and dumbed down so that even non-economists can get the gist of it. If you're a socialist, you're going to hate this book. He's conservative, and capitalist. So be warned.
