About this listen

Another entry in the best-selling, irreverent, hard-hitting Politically Incorrect Guide series! Economics from a rational, conservative viewpoint—that is, a refreshing look at how money actually works from an author who knows the score, and how the law of economics are frequently broken and derailed by pernicious leftists and virtue signaling progressives.

Markets Rule. Socialism Sucks.

Time to wise up. Think economics is the Dismal Science? No more! Here is the lowdown on the biases, superstitions, and outright falsehoods that permeate and corrupt economics and economic policy. Here’s the skinny on the poisonous effects of socialism and crony capitalism. Even better, here is an irreverent but clear-eyed explanation of how markets and economies work and how government intervention so often doesn’t, routinely makes things worse, and how it’s usually the cause of economic crises in the first place.

Here’s how the power of the free market bursts forth and conquers, despite the worms, leeches, slings and arrows of socialism and anarchy trying to do in human creativity and ingenuity at every turn. How the myth of so-called “market failure” is total bunk. Why every attempt by government to stabilize the economy seems to put it in a tailspin instead. How corporations cozy up to big government and use regulation to create monopoly profits. Why “stimulus spending” makes us poor and hands the power-seeking goons of the governing class even more control over our lives. Plus, here’s a chance to supercharge your economic IQ with concentrated wisdom from masters of market scholarship Ludwig von Mises, F.A. Hayek, Milton Friedman, and more!

A no-nonsense, irreverent guide to economics from a legendary teacher, thinker, and Mises Institute scholar that may be the best book on economics since Adam Smith visited a pin factory, figured out how the division of labor works, and wrote it all down in one handy volume!

An accessible, rational guide to economic theory for the non-economist.
This is the third of Dilorenzo's great books which I have read; and, as always, he never fails to challenge or stimulate me or the rest of his readers.
He is the very definition of a true teacher.

This book is a MUST read or listen for anyone who wants a rational alternative to the anti-capitalistic and pro Socialist filth that we are usually subjected to!

You can thank me later.

Dilorenzo does it again!

covers many basics of Austrian economics thought that are almost completely unknown to the general public, a must read if you are unfamiliar with such things

fantastic book

I find myself constantly surprised by these 'politically incorrect guides'. The cover images always make them look like their going to be a hack-job by some part-time Fox News pundit that gets all their facts wrong. But this one, like the others I have read, is surprisingly interesting, well-written and well read. I think my highlights would be the discussion of monopoly and the description of the environmental impact of socialism in the USSR (it was bad).

Recommended. But guys, change the cover images. They look like they were done on MS Paint in 1998.

Surprisingly Good
