Reviews
Praise for P. J. O'Rourke and Eat the Rich "O'Rourke has done the unthinkable: he's made money funny."--Forbes FYI "[O'Rourke is] witty, smart and--though he hides it under a tough coat of cynicism--a fine reporter . . . Delightful."--New York Times Book Review "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 "[P. J. O'Rourke] was able to yank conservatives out of the hands of the humorless and shrill, and make such writing accessible ... He changed my life."Greg Gutfeld "[P. J. O'Rourke] occupies a rare place among the laughing class: He has somehow avoided the orifice obsession that captivates many of its members; he identifies as Republican; and he is no mere thumb-sucker, having visited more than 40 countries to report on wars, regime changes, economic revolutions and the experience of drinking cocktails garnished with the poison sacs of cobras."Wall Street Journal "Outspoken conservatives have long been a minority in comedy, particularly in the mainstream media, which provided an opportunity for P.J. O'Rourke, who for decades cornered the market for prominent right-wing humorists ... If his wry essays have a mission statement ... it's this: Starchy Republicanism is really, really fun."New York Times Book Review

O'Rourke writes humorously about his two-year round the world sojourn in search of the bottom line. He finds hilarity in every corner and will leave you laughing all the way to the bank, In the tradition of his contemporary classic Parliament of Whores, renowned political humorist P. J. O'Rourke is back with Eat the Rich, in which he takes on the global economy. P. J. O'Rourke leads us on a hysterical whirlwind world tour from the "good capitalism" of Wall Street to the "bad socialism" of Cuba in search of the answer to an age-old question: "Why do some places prosper and thrive, while others just suck?" With stops in Albania, Sweden, Hong Kong, Moscow, and Tanzania, O'Rourke takes a look at the complexities of economics with a big dose of the incomparable wit that has made him one of today's most refreshing commentators. Now updated with new material from the O'Rourke, fifteen years after the original publication of his riotous first take.
