Description: None of My Business by P.J. O'Rourke Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In his latest work, ORourke takes 45 years of experience making fun of terrible things in the most awful places in the world and applies it to a place thats even worse--Wall Street, and the whole wide world of finance.ance. Publisher Description After decades covering war and disaster, bestselling author and acclaimed satirist P. J. ORourke takes on his scariest subjects yet--business, investment, finance, and the political chicanery behind them. Want to get rich overnight for free in 3 easy steps with no risk? Then dont buy this book. (Actually, if you believe theres a book that can do that, you shouldnt buy any books because you probably cant read.) P.J.s approach to business, investment, and finance is different. He takes the risks for you in his chapter "How I Learned Economics by Watching People Try to Kill Each Other." He proposes "A Way to Raise Taxes That Well 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 Internet--whose 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." He closes with a fanciful short story about the morning that P.J. wakes up and finds that all the worlds goods and services are free! This is P.J. at his finest, a book not to be missed. Author Biography P. J. ORourke has written nineteen books on subjects as diverse as politics and cars and etiquette and economics. Parliament of Whores and Give War a Chance both reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. He is a contributing editor at the Weekly Standard, H. L. Mencken Research Fellow at the Cato Institute, a regular panelist on NPRs Wait Wait . . . Dont Tell Me, and editor-in-chief of the web magazine American Consequences. He lives in rural New England, as far away from the things he writes about as he can get. Details ISBN 0802147763 ISBN-13 9780802147769 Title None of My Business Author P.J.
