The Politcally Incorrect Guide to Capitalism - Robert P. Murphy (3 of 5 Piggy Banks)

First off, I must confess that I didn't actually finish this book. I kept putting off the review hoping that I would finish it, but I never got around to it. I have to take the CDs back now that I'm leaving DC, and frankly I don't feel that it's worth it to go find the discs back in SLC.

I started it a couple of months ago during my long days at the copy machine at work. In the beginning it was quite interesting. I was intrigued by the author's arguments about the value of pure capitalism. Murphy energetically campaigns against any kind of government intervention/regulation based on the belief that the market place will automatically regulate itself. Consumers will buy only that which they feel is desireable. And so it goes. You probably already know the rest.

Yes it was interesting. Yes it got old after a while.
