Eat the Rich

In the tradition of his contemporary classic Parliament of Whores, the man who The Wall Street Journal calls "the funniest writer in America" is back with Eat the Rich, in which he takes on the global economy. P. J. O'Rourke leads you on a world tour from the "good capitalism" of Wall Street to the "bad socialism" of Cuba in a search for the answer to an age-old question: "Why do some places prosper and thrive, while others just suck?" Whit stops in Albania, Sweden, Hong kong, Moscow, and Tanzania, P. J. brings along his incomparable wit and finds targets for it wherever he goes.
