First edition, early printing of the best-selling author's economic treatise. Octavo, original half cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page, "To Lucie Bon Appetite! P. J. O'Rourke 4/27/99 NYC." Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Whitney Cookman and Charles Rue Woods.
In his classic best-seller Parliament of Whores, O'Rourke attempted to explain the entire United States Government. Here, in his most ambitious work since, he takes on an even broader subject: wealth. Its chapters include Good Capitalism (United States), Bad Capitalism (Albania), Good socialism (Sweden), Bad socialism (Cuba), How to make everything out of nothing (Hong Kong), How to make nothing out of everything (Tanzania), How (or how not) to reform (maybe) an economy (if there is one) (Russia) and Eat the rich, the last an encomium to capitalism.
