Beschreibung

The #1 New York Timesbestselling author takes on subjects from banking to bitcoin: ';Another winner from an A-list humorist.' Booklist Sharp-witted satirist and author of Parliament of Whores P. J. O'Rourke takes on his scariest subjects yetbusiness, investment, finance, and the political chicanery behind them. Want to get rich overnight for free in threeeasy steps with no risk? Then don't buy this book. (Actually, if you believe there's a book that can do that, you shouldn't buy any books because you probably can't read.) P. J. O'Rourke's approach to business, investment, and finance is different. He takes the risksforyou in his chapter ';How I Learned Economics by Watching People Try to Kill Each Other.' He proposes ';A Way to Raise Taxes That We'll All Love'a 200% tax on celebrities. He offers a brief history of economic transitions before exploring the world of high tech innovation with a chapter on ';Unnovations,' which asks, ';The Internetwhose idea was it to put all the idiots on earth in touch with each other?' He misunderstands bitcoin, which seems ';like a weird scam invented by strange geeks with weaponized slide rules in the high school Evil Math Club.' And finally, he offers a fanciful short story about the morning that P. J. wakes up and finds that all the world's goods and services are free! ';The funniest writer in America.' TheWall Street Journal
