About this listen
Murphy explains hot topics like outsourcing (why it's good for Americans) and zoning restrictions (why they're not). Just like the other books in the P.I.G. series, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism pulls no punches. Murphy defends the free market on such issues as safety regulations, racial discrimination, and child-labor laws, in a breezy manner that is anything but textbook-like. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism sets the record straight on everything you thought you knew about economics.

Critic reviews
"An invaluable introduction to free-market economics." (Congressman Ron Paul)
Regardless, that doesn’t mean that the book isn’t worth reading. I do think that the vast majority of listeners will learn *something* from it, no matter their ideological persuasion, even if they do disagree with much. To take one example, I learned about the degree to which American antebellum slavery required state intervention to maintain its strength (example: states would compel non-slave-owning citizens to participate in slave patrols, or forbid the freeing of slaves within state boundaries). So for those with a moderately open mind and a desire to learn, facts and insights such as these make it worth the price (which ironically is nothing at present).
On the other hand, if you have read the other review here and are excitedly looking forward to some fascist or imperialist propaganda, I'm afraid you will be sorely disappointed, and I recommend you go elsewhere.
