On the Wealth of Nations
P.J. O’Rourke gives a modern‐day spin on The Wealth of Nations and Adam Smith’s revolutionary theories on liberty
A Cato Institute Book Forum featuring the author, P. J. O’Rourke, America’s leading political humorist and Cato H. L. Mencken research fellow. Moderated by David Boaz. P.J. O’Rourke will give a modern‐day spin on The Wealth of Nations and Adam Smith’s revolutionary theories on liberty: pursuit of self‐interest, division of labor, and freedom of trade. Employing Smith’s insights, P. J. will tackle such present day topics as outsourcing, blogs, central banks, and lobbyists, to name just a few. As P. J. puts it, he read The Wealth of Nations “so you don’t have to.”
