Socialism Sucks: Two Economists Drink Their Way Through the Unfree World

Do We Have to Say It Again? Socialism Sucks!

Apparently we do. Because today millions of Americansâ€”young and oldâ€”are flocking to the socialist banner and chanting, â€œWhat do we want? Socialismâ€”the economic system that has impoverished people everywhere and resulted in the deaths of tens of millions! And when do we want it? Now!â€

Really?

Most people seem somehow to have missed Economics 101 and donâ€™t understand that socialism isnâ€™t nice, cuddly government that takes care of everything for you so that you can remain an adolescent forever. No, weâ€™ve seen it tried over and over again with catastrophic consequences.

Luckily, two semi-sober economists have toured the socialist world so you donâ€™t have to. And theyâ€™ve come back with this stunning report: Socialism Sucks!

Along the way, youâ€™ll learn:

â€¢ Why the so-called Swedish model might be attractive, but sure isnâ€™t socialism (Sweden is capitalism with a big welfare state)

â€¢ How socialist Venezuela went from being the toast of liberals everywhereâ€”Viva Venezuela!â€”to being just toast

â€¢ Why you never see new cars in Cuba

â€¢ Why no one forgets to turn out the lights in North Korea (hint: there arenâ€™t any)

â€¢ Why American socialists have no idea what socialism really is

How hard it is to find good beerâ€”or sometimes any beer at allâ€”in socialist countries

Irreverent but honest economists Robert Lawson and Benjamin Powell have all the dataâ€”and even more important, the firsthand global experienceâ€”to affirm that socialism fails to deliver on any of the utopian promises it makes and instead is very bad for your economic (and other) health. This is a book that every American who values freedom and sound economics (and good beer) needs to read.
