Very well thought out and researched book. Richards approaches his argument in favor of Capitalism by examining and disproving eight myths. I will only talk about the first myth in this review. The first myth he writes about is the Nirvana Myth(contrasting capitalism with an unrealizable ideal rather than its live alternatives). This chapter give a great overview of Communism around the world and how it contrast with capitalism. He refers to many other books, so there is a great bibliography to further your own knowledge.
