The anti-capitalists are still with us, and how. Robert Murphy has decided to give them an in-your-face economics education that they won’t forget — ever.
His approach comes from years of teaching undergraduates and dealing with the most common errors. He also draws from his teaching experience at the Mises University to offer an Austrian perspective on economics.
He offers explanations and examples that are clear and compelling. What’s wrong with zoning? Murphy explains it. Isn’t outsourcing destroying America? On the contrary says Murphy: it is a wonderful for Americans! Shouldn’t the rich fork over in the name of social justice? Murphy says that this would make us all poorer.
The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism is a solid and entertaining guide to free market economics written from the perspective of the Austrian School.
