In The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Capitalism, myth-busting professor Robert P. Murphy, a scholar and frequent speaker at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, cuts through all their nonsense, shattering liberal myths and fashionable socialist cliches to set the record straight.

Editorial Reviews

Economist Robert Murphy is an unrepentant "capitalist pig"—his words—and, true to his book's title, he delights in taking positions that make Marie Antoinette look sympathetic to the plight of the underprivileged. Phrases like "the liberal media" are a dead giveaway where Murphy's politics lie, and, considering the economic times we live in, his whole "let them eat cake" posture is at times grating. With lofty restraint reader Perry Richards's mellifluous voice suits Murphy's smugness. A disciple of economic guru Martin Friedman, Murphy has never met a millionaire he didn't like and is happy to tell you so, using Richards as his silver-tongued messenger.
