The liberal media and propagandists masquerading as educators have filled the world--and deformed public policy--with politically correct errors about capitalism and economics in general. In The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Capitalism, myth-busting professor Robert P. Murphy, a scholar and frequent speaker at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, cuts through all their nonsense, shattering liberal myths and fashionable socialist cliches to set the record straight. Murphy starts with a basic explanation of what capitalism really is, and then dives fearlessly into hot topics like: \u003cbr\u003e* Outsourcing (why it's good for Americans) and zoning restrictions (why they're not) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* Why central planning has never worked and never will \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* How prices operate in a free market (and why socialist schemes like rent control always backfire) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* How labor unions actually hurt workers more than they help them \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* Why increasing the minimum wage is always a bad idea \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* Why the free market is the best guard against racism \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* How capitalism will save the environment--and why Communist countries were the most polluted on earth \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* Raising taxes: why it is never responsible \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* Why no genuine advocate for the downtrodden could endorse the dehumanizing Welfare State \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* The single biggest myth underlying the public's support for government regulation of business \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* Antitrust suits: usually filed by firms that lose in free competition \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* How tariffs and other restrictions protect privileged workers but make other Americans poorer \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* The IMF and World Bank: why they don't help poor countries \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* Plus: Are you a capitalist pig? Take the quiz and find out  Breezy, witty, but always clear, precise, and elegantly reasoned, The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Capitalism is a solid and entertaining guide to free market economics. With his twelve-step plan for understanding the free market, Murphy shows why conservatives should resist attempts to socialize America and fight spiritedly for the free market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3979383\"\u003eRobert P.
