Most commonly accepted economic "facts" are wrong Here's the
unvarnished, politically incorrect truth. The liberal media and
propagandists masquerading as educators have filled the world--and
deformed public policy--with politically correct errors about
capitalism and economics in general. In The Politically Incorrect
Guide(tm) to Capitalism, myth-busting professor Robert P. Murphy, a
scholar and frequent speaker at the Ludwig von Mises Institute,
cuts through all their nonsense, shattering liberal myths and
fashionable socialist cliches to set the record straight. Murphy
starts with a basic explanation of what capitalism really is, and
then dives fearlessly into hot topics like:
* Outsourcing (why it's good for Americans) and zoning restrictions
(why they're not)
* Why central planning has never worked and never will
* How prices operate in a free market (and why socialist schemes
like rent control always backfire)
* How labor unions actually hurt workers more than they help them
* Why increasing the minimum wage is always a bad idea
* Why the free market is the best guard against racism
* How capitalism will save the environment--and why Communist
countries were the most polluted on earth
* Raising taxes: why it is never "responsible"
* Why no genuine advocate for the downtrodden could endorse the
dehumanizing Welfare State
* The single biggest myth underlying the public's support for
government regulation of business
* Antitrust suits: usually filed by firms that lose in free
competition
* How tariffs and other restrictions "protect" privileged workers
but make other Americans poorer
* The IMF and World Bank: why they don't help poor countries
* Plus: Are you a capitalist pig? Take the quiz and find out
Breezy, witty, but always clear, precise, and elegantly reasoned,
The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Capitalism is a solid and
entertaining guide to free market economics. With his twelve-step
plan for understanding the free market, Murphy shows why
conservatives should resist attempts to socialize America and fight
spiritedly for the free market.
