P.J. O’Rourke appeared recently on Jon Stewart’s Daily Show. (The occasion is the release of the paperback version of O’Rourke’s book [2] on Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations [3].) Here’s the Daily Show clip [4].
In this clip O’Rourke isn’t perfect on Smith — O’Rourke’s chief goal in this clip is to be funny, rather than scholarly. But he’s got a few good lines. I like especially the one about Smith wanting to "decentralize our badness."
