Book Reviews of P. J. O'Rourke on the Wealth of Nations (Books That Changed the World)

Book Review: Incisive Wit
Summary: 5 Stars

With his acerbic tongue and sharp mind, P.J. O'Rourke handles the tough material of Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" making it not only comprehensible (a hard task, believe me), but funny. And current.

It is always a pleasure reading this man's work.
