In the tradition of his contemporary classic Parliament of Whores, renowned political humorist P. J. ORourke is back with Eat the Rich, in which he takes on the global economy. P. J. ORourke 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, ORourke takes a look at the complexities of economics with a big dose of the incomparable wit that has made him one of todays most refreshing commentators. Now updated with new material from the ORourke, fifteen years after the original publication of his riotous first take. ORourke has done the unthinkable: hes made money funny.--Forbes FYI [ORourke is] witty, smart and--though he hides it under a tough coat of cynicism--a fine reporter . . . Delightful.--New York Times Book ReviewAbout author(s):P. J. ORourke has written nineteen books on subjects as diverse as politics and cars and etiquette and economics.
