On the Wealth of Nations by P.J. O'Rourke

3.0

A causual, easy read and probably not a terrible choice if you want to know what Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations is all about without having to read it yourself. I came away feeling like I still need to read Wealth of Nations myself though. It's not a scholarly work, and I wondered what things O'Rourke left out or overly-editorialized. P.J. O'Rourke is not at his funniest here though, and often comes off flat or glib. Entertaining, but hardly a must-read.
