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
An interesting take on economics/capitalism but not really a reference or guide In short, government control of capitalism in the United States walks a fine line of allowing the economy get bogged down in rules and taxation (and killing the golden goose) or allowing the money to be under-regulated (becoming the tail that wags the dog.) Interestingly, PJ basically says that the good ol' US of A almost got capitalism right but that politicians are constantly thinking that "improvements" can be done. He sort of gets carried away with examining how capitalism behaves elsewhere (but after a while you realize that nothing quite measures up to what is in the USA, not that PJ ever really says that it's really optimized in America either.) I originally thought of using it as an economics reference for my youngster but ultimately it's a poor guide to how to think about an economy.Lesson on world economics with humor This is a trip around the world’s different economies, the good the bad and the ugly. It makes the point that we live in the best possible country.Next best thing to a trip around the world P.J. O'Rourke uses this book to address the question of what makes some countries' economies work for the benefit and wealth of the citizens and what makes some fail so miserably, leaving the majority of the population in a hideous poverty. He visits a good handful of countries around the world (e.g. the US, Sweden, Hong Kong and Cuba) in an attempt to find some patterns and reach some sensible conclusions. I loved the detailed descriptions of what he found in each country, his assessment of the economic environment and examples of the hardships and benefits that he found. I was less enamored of his conclusions, which seemed to be predetermined before the book was even envisioned and were arrived at whether the evidence supported them or not (in the case of Sweden for example). But humans are fallible and the point of view of an intelligent human being traveling the world, trying to make some sense of it, while in no way pretending to be an expert was so entertaining and directly challenging that the experience of reading the book was a delight.As a warning to my fellow liberals, there were some rather nasty and snide comments about the Clintons, but they were rather easy to ignore due to the freshness of the observations into the workings of the economies he visited.
