"There is one thing that can be said about A Fool and His Money that cannot be said about any other colume of investment advice: You will never make a penny from the information in this book. No work on the subject of personal finance has even tried to make this claim before. That is because works on the subject of personal finance are all lying. John Rothchild is the only fully honest author in the genre."--from the Foreword by P. J. O'Rourke.

Called "an everyman's guide to Washington" ("The New York Times"), O'Rourke's savagely funny and national bestseller "Parliament of Whores" has become a classic in understanding the workings of the American political system.

O'Rourke writes humorously about his two-year round the world sojourn in search of the bottom line. He finds hilarity in every corner and will leave you laughing all the way to the bank

Shows us why Smith is still relevant, why what seems obvious was once revolutionary, and how the division of labour, freedom of trade and pursuit of self-interest espoused by Smith are not only vital to the welfare of mankind, they're funny too.
