ORourke channels his extensive experience of making fun of terrible things in despicable places and applies it to somewhere even worse - Wall Street. Publisher Description Delving into the world of big money has all the excitement of being a war correspondent with only two-thirds of the danger. In None of My Business, P.J. ORourke takes forty-five years of experience making fun of terrible things in some of the worlds most awful places and applies it to a place thats even worse - Wall Street.Want to get rich overnight for free in three easy steps with no risk? Then dont buy this book. (Actually, if you believe theres a book that can do that, you shouldnt buy any books because you probably cant read.) P.J.s approach to business, investment, finance, and innovation is different. He takes the risks for you in his chapter How I Learned Economics by Watching People Try to Kill Each Other, detailing the economic lessons he learned while reporting in some of the most turbulent combat zones across the world.P.J. has his eye on the present as well as the past. He explores the world of high tech innovation with a chapter on the Internet, which poses the question, whose idea was it to put every idiot in the world in touch with every other idiot? P.J. is baffled by bitcoin, which seems to him like a weird scam invented by strange geeks with weaponized slide rules in the high school Evil Math Club. And he writes a fanciful short story about the morning he wakes up to find that all the worlds goods and services are free - with disastrous (and hilarious) results for the rule of law and the harmony of society.This is P.J. at his finest, a book that reminds us that when everything around us is Liars Poker, all we can do is fold - with laughter. Author Biography P. J. ORourke has written eighteen books on subjects as diverse as politics and cars and etiquette and economics.

Mencken Research Fellow at the Cato Institute, a regular panellist on NPRs Wait Wait ... Dont Tell Me, and editor-in-chief of the web magazine American Consequences.
