The liberal media and propagandists masquerading as educators have filled the world--and deformed public policy--with politically correct errors about capitalism and economics in general. In The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Capitalism, myth-busting professor Robert P. Murphy, a scholar and frequent speaker at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, cuts through all their nonsense, shattering liberal myths and fashionable socialist cliches to set the record straight. Murphy starts with a basic explanation of what capitalism really is, and then dives fearlessly into hot topics like:* Outsourcing (why its good for Americans) and zoning restrictions (why theyre not)* Why central planning has never worked and never will* How prices operate in a free market (and why socialist schemes like rent control always backfire)* How labor unions actually hurt workers more than they help them* Why increasing the minimum wage is always a bad idea* Why the free market is the best guard against racism* How capitalism will save the environment--and why Communist countries were the most polluted on earth* Raising taxes: why it is never responsible* Why no genuine advocate for the downtrodden could endorse the dehumanizing Welfare State* The single biggest myth underlying the publics support for government regulation of business* Antitrust suits: usually filed by firms that lose in free competition* How tariffs and other restrictions protect privileged workers but make other Americans poorer* The IMF and World Bank: why they dont help poor countries* Plus: Are you a capitalist pig? Take the quiz and find out! Breezy, witty, but always clear, precise, and elegantly reasoned, The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Capitalism is a solid and entertaining guide to free market economics. With his twelve-step plan for understanding the free market, Murphy shows why conservatives should resist attempts to socialize America and fight spiritedly for the free market.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Regnery Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45887748571334,"sku":"DADAX1596985046","price":60.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/81b3uWUkLUL.jpg?v=1779948754","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/the-politically-incorrect-guide-to-capitalism","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
