HTML:<p><b>The #1 <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling author takes on subjects from banking to bitcoin: "</b><b>Another winner from an A-list humorist."―<i>Booklist</i></b><br /> <br /> Sharp-witted satirist and author of <i>Parliament of Whores</i> P. J. O'Rourke takes on his scariest subjects yet—business, investment, finance, and the political chicanery behind them.<br /> Want to get rich overnight for free in 3 easy 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 risks <i>for</i> you 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 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." 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!<br /> <br /> "The funniest writer in America."―<i>The</i><i>Wall Street Journal</i></p>.
