We tend to think those on the Left don’t understand these concepts but on issues like the war on (some) drugs, many on the Right forget about everything they understand about supply/demand and incentives.

As to being self-serving, while most may say they are not, I proudly say I am. I think Ayn Rand got it mostly right. I think those on OWS are every bit as self-interested as those of us who want to keep more of what we earn. They want the money taken away from the 1% and redistributed to whom? Themselves, of course!

While there do doubt are those on the Left who are economically literate, I think it’s fair to say that most are not.

It’s certainly not a book for anyone who is easily offended (blasphemy, sex, coarse language, more blasphemy, etc). It’s part philosophy, part biography (lots of great laugh out loud stories), part humor, a small bit of politics, and all fun. It’s a very fun read.

Recently Chris has pointed out (here & here) the stupid/evil fallacy the left often uses* to paint the right.

In fairness, the right uses the same arguments. Leftists are assumed to be either economically illiterate or self-serving.
