In the tradition of his contemporary classic Parliament of Whores, the man who The Wall Street Journal calls “the funniest writer in America” is back with Eat the Rich, in which he takes on the global economy. P. J. O’Rourke leads you on an hysterical whirlwind world tour from the “good capitalism” of Wall Street to the “bad socialism” of Cuba in search of the answer to an age-old question: “Why do some places prosper and thrive, while others just suck?” With stops in Albania, Sweden, Hong Kong, Moscow, and Tanzania, P.J. brings along his incomparable wit and finds hilarity wherever he goes.

What is it that makes one person rich and another poor? It’s a tough question and not one generally suited to laughs, but P.J. O’Rourke–in the audio version of his ironic and insightful book, Eat the Rich–is a master at finding humor in the most unlikely places. Here he travels from Wall Street to Russia, Hong Kong to Cuba on an immensely entertaining quest for economic enlightenment. It’s an educational journey wrapped in hilarity, which is especially enjoyable when heard in the surprisingly deep, resonant voice of the author himself.
