Participating in the economy is a part of everyday life; yet much of what is commonly
accepted as 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 Guideto
Capitalism pulls no punches. Murphy defends the free market on such issues as safety
regulations, racial discrimination, and child-labor laws, in a breezy manner that is anything but
textbook. The Politically Incorrect Guideto Capitalism sets the record straight
on everything you thought you knew about economics.
Entertaining, incisive, and well worth the price

Dr. Murphy's book is terribly clever, with explanations that both illustrate the points being discussed while also entertaining with witty examples and scenarios. I've studied economics for some time, and generally agreed with Murphy. Examples he used though, allowed me to feel that I had expanded my understanding of various economic fallacies and why they don't hold water. Buy this book and you'll understand economics in a new way, honest!
