Featuring P.J. O’Rourke, Author of On the Wealth of Nations (Atlantic Monthly Press, January 2007) with welcoming remarks by Edward H. Crane, President, Cato Institute.
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”.
