Book Synopsis

As one of the first titles in Atlantic Monthly Press' Books That Changed the World series, America's most provocative satirist, P. J. O'Rourke, reads Adam Smith's revolutionary The Wealth of Nations so you don't have to.

The New York Times - Allan Sloan

Think of it as a hardcover blog, in which O Rourke cites Smith s essential points, and riffs while preaching Smithian doctrine … this book is well worth reading. You ll pick up a few good lines, you ll see a primo stylist at work. And you ll see why Adam Smith is so often quoted but so rarely read.
