Eat The Rich: Can Economics Be This Funny?

Date of Review:  Feb 29, 2000
Review: P.J. O'Rourke is back with his latest wry insights. His previous works have attacked foreign countries (Holidays In Hell) and politics (Parliament of Whores, Republican Party Reptile), among others, and have been notable in their hysterical, canny...

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 1999
