About this listen

 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 Guide to 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-like. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism sets the record straight on everything you thought you knew about economics.

Brilliant summation

It's free on audible. It's short. It gives the perfect overview of the context of capitalism and the response to its critics. There is more depth in other books but this one encapsulates things quickly and succinctly.

The Capitalism Manifesto

Really this book should be titled "The Theory of American Capitalism". It's a guide for when the US economy and population operates as the author expects, but neglects to mention the healthcare industry, opioid crisis, Enron failure, etc, etc. However it makes me glad to not live in that system!
