Product Description:
Participating in the economy is a part of everyday life, yet much of what is commonly accepted as economic fact is wrong. Keynesian schoolteachers and the liberal media have filled the world with politically correct errors that myth-busting professor Robert Murphy sets straight. Murphy explains hot topics like outsourcing (why it's good for Americans) and zoning restrictions (why they're not). Just like the other books in the P.I.G. series, The Politically Incorrect GuideT to Capitalism pulls no punches.

This book is a great addition to the politically incorrect series. What's incredible is how wide the breadth is--everything from antitrust to the IMF--in a short 200 pages. It's rare to see such a concise book cover so many topics.
For readers who are familiar with introductory economics and/or have read Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics, Milton Friedman's Free to Choose, etc., most of the arguments will be familiar. For example, Murphy shows how price controls create shortages, unions ... Read More

Some democrats will find this book horrifying, but can't argue all of the facts presented. The author skips through various subjects, presenting cases for Capitalism along the way. While one or two are somewhat weak, most are strongly presented and can sway the most left leaning liberal into seeing the authors point. I really enjoyed reading it and agree whole-heartedly with 90% of the arguments presented. I have been passing it around to friends, and each of them has enjoyed it as well. It is certainly ...

Dr. Murphy does a great job destroying the myths about capitalism. His book deals with every argument ever made against capitalism. His writing style is very engaging. This book is a pleasure to read and a great resource for libertarians. Great work Bob!

The book has many pros and cons. It's a quick easy read full of interesting insights into how money is used by private and government institutions and the roles played by individuals (consumers, workers, shareholders) in the economy (domestic and international - via free trade), as well as the potential positive effects of a free market on social issues like poverty, slavery, gender and race discrimination.
On the other hand it suffers by being a purist economic doctrine: it assumes humans are rational ... Read More
