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:\u003cbr\u003e* Outsourcing (why it's good for Americans) and zoning restrictions (why they're not)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Why central planning has never worked and never will\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* How prices operate in a free market (and why socialist schemes like rent control always backfire)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* How labor unions actually hurt workers more than they help them\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Why increasing the minimum wage is always a bad idea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Why the free market is the best guard against racism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* How capitalism will save the environment--and why Communist countries were the most polluted on earth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Raising taxes: why it is never \"responsible\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Why no genuine advocate for the downtrodden could endorse the dehumanizing Welfare State\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* The single biggest myth underlying the public's support for government regulation of business\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Antitrust suits: usually filed by firms that lose in free competition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* How tariffs and other restrictions \"protect\" privileged workers but make other Americans poorer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* The IMF and World Bank: why they don't help poor countries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* 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.","brand":"Regnery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44655385215231,"sku":"9781596985049","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_f70f2186-af04-45f8-8224-c355c390f691.jpg?v=1743452816","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781596985049","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
