Title: Started off alright, went downhill fast toward the end.
Product review: A muddled, myopic, and relatively juvenile interpretation of economics. Eat the Rich presents a simplistic and rosy picture of Libertarian and laissez-faire ideas without delving into even the most obvious and well documented negatives of those systems (ie, negative externalities). The somewhat gushing praise of free markets and Friedman-esque oversimplification of Adam Smith presented by O'Rourke seem all the more silly in the light of our recent economic crisis. Read How Markets Fail for a much more interesting, intelligent, and in-depth analysis of unfettered free markets.
