A conservative, prosperous American journalist gadding around the world laughing at all the ways less successful nations screw up their economy-this might not sound like the recipe for a great read, unless you're Rush Limbaugh, but if that journalist is P. J. O'Rourke you can be sure that you'll enjoy the ride even if you don't agree with the politics. Although Eat the Rich is subtitled A Treatise on Economics, O'Rourke spends relatively few pages tackling the complexities of monetary theory. He's much happier when flying from Sweden to Hong Kong, then on to Tanzania and Moscow, gleefully recording every economic goof he can find. When he visits post-Soviet Russia and finds a country that is as messed up by capitalism as it was by communism, O'Rourke mixes jokes about black-market shoes with disturbing insights into a nation on the verge of collapse. P. J. O'Rourke is more than a humourist, he's an experienced international journalist with a lot of frequent-flyer miles and this gives even his funniest riffs on the world's problems a startling ring of truth.

Review How to Be a Millionaire / Renaissance Audio:

Forget Regis Philbin's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". Martin Fridson's How to Be a Billionaire sets its sights much higher and therefore seems an even more appropriate (if somewhat less realistic) goal for today's tycoon wannabes. There are some 200 individuals in the US alone who now breathe this rarefied air, writes Merrill Lynch, managing director of Fridson, and no reason why those who adopt their philosophies cannot join them. To that end, he studied more than a dozen of the self-made super-rich, including Sam Walton, Bill Gates, Wayne Huizenga and Warren Buffett. He then synthesized their techniques for success into nine strategies: take monumental risks, do business in new ways, dominate your market, consolidate an industry, buy low, thrive on deals, out-manage the competition, invest in political influence and resist unions. Dividing profiles of these high fliers into chapters focused on their prevailing principles, he shows how each played a critical role in the growth of an empire. Walton didn't invent discounting, for example; he tweaked existing practices for the late-20th-century marketplace. Likewise, Huizenga didn't start individual companies but integrated existing competitors into powerhouse organizations. While Billionaire may not be a true self-help manual, it does offer a fascinating glimpse at tactics used by those who've played the game and won. -Howard Rothman, Amazon. [+]
