Inhaltsangabe

A New York Times bestseller: "The funniest writer in America" takes on the global economy (The Wall Street Journal).

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, O'Rourke 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
