None of My Business: P. J. Explains Money, Banking, Debt, Equity, Assets, Liabilities, and Why He's Not Rich and Neither Are You - Hardcover

"[O'Rourke] has a razor-sharp intellect, and he writes without a shred of pretension or pontification. Another winner from an A-list humorist."--Booklist

Praise for P. J. O'Rourke:

"The funniest writer in America."--Wall Street Journal

"Whether you agree with him or not, P.J. writes a helluva piece."--Richard Nixon

"P.J. O'Rourke is like S.J. Perelman on acid."--Chris Buckley

"Shakespeare, Hemingway, they're okay, I guess, but my next guest--he's better . . . . [P. J. O'Rourke's] writing really changed my life."--Greg Gutfeld

"If [O'Rourke's] wry essays have a mission statement . . . it's this: Starchy Republicanism is really, really fun."--New York Times Book Review

Want to get rich overnight for free in 3 easy steps with no risk? Then don’t buy this book. (Actually, if you believe there’s a book that can do that, you shouldn’t buy any books because you probably can’t read.) P.J.’s approach to business, investment, and finance is different. He takes the risks for you in his chapter “How I Learned Economics by Watching People Try to Kill Each Other.” He proposes “A Way to Raise Taxes That We’ll All Love”—a 200% tax on celebrities. He offers a brief history of economic transitions before exploring the world of high tech innovation with a chapter on “Unnovations,” which asks, “The Internet—whose idea was it to put all the idiots on earth in touch with each other?” He misunderstands bitcoin, which seems “like a weird scam invented by strange geeks with weaponized slide rules in the high school Evil Math Club.” He closes with a fanciful short story about the morning that P.J. wakes up and finds that all the world’s goods and services are free! This is P.J. at his finest, a book not to be missed.
