None of My Business: P.J. Explains Money, Banking, Debt, Equity, Assets, Liabilities, and Why He's Not Rich and Neither Are You

Satirical take on finance by seasoned humorist.

P.J. O'Rourke has a knack for infusing humor into the most serious of topics, and in "None of My Business," he does just that with the complex world of finance. If terms like equity and liabilities make your eyes glaze over, O'Rourke's wit can keep you engaged and even laughing as you navigate through what could have been an intimidating subject. It's for anyone looking for a lighter, relatable take on money matters, without the jargon-laden snooze-fest.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

After decades covering war and disaster, bestselling author and acclaimed satirist P. J. O’Rourke takes on his scariest subjects yet―business, investment, finance, and the political chicanery behind them. P.J.’s approach to business, investment, and finance is different. He takes the risks for you in his chapter “How I Learned Economics by Watching People Try to Kill Each Other.” He proposes “A Way to Raise Taxes That We’ll All Love”―a 200% tax on celebrities. He offers a brief history of economic transitions before exploring the world of high tech innovation with a chapter on “Unnovations,” which asks, “The Internet―whose idea was it to put all the idiots on earth in touch with each other?” He misunderstands bitcoin, which seems “like a weird scam invented by strange geeks with weaponized slide rules in the high school Evil Math Club.” He closes with a fanciful short story about the morning that P.J. wakes up and finds that all the world’s goods and services are free! This is P.J. at his finest, a book not to be missed.
