Eat The Rich (book)
''Eat the Rich: A Treatise on Economics'' is a 1998 book by P. J. O'Rourke which explains economics in a humorous way. Its chapters include ''Good Capitalism'' (United States), ''Bad Capitalism'' (Albania), ''Good socialism'' (Sweden), ''Bad socialism'' (Cuba), and an intermission on "Economics 101", teaching facts that your economics professor didn't tell you, including the "ten less basic rules of economics". Subsequent chapters are on ''How to make everything out of nothing'' (Hong Kong), ''How to make nothing out of everything'' (Tanzania), ''How (or how not) to reform (maybe) an economy (if there is one)'' (Russia) and ''Eat the rich'', the last an encomium to capitalism.

He states, for example, that he has read ''The Wealth of Nations'' without finding any mathematics in it at all. I ...
