"DiLorenzo's book is a pleasure to read and should be put in the hands of every young person in this country - and elsewhere!" -FORMER CONGRESSMAN RON PAUL"It is a worthwhile investment for parents with college-age children to buy two copies of The Problem with Socialism -one for their children and one for themselves." -WALTER E. WILLIAMS, John M Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics, George Mason University and nationally syndicated columnist"Ever wonder what one book you should give a young person to make sure he doesn't fall for leftist propoganda? You're looking at it." -THOMAS E. WOODS, JR., host of The Tom Woods Show, author of the New York Times bestseller The Politically Incorrect Guide to American HistoryWhats the Problem with Socialism?Lets start with...everything.So says bestselling author and professor of economics Thomas J. DiLorenzo, who sets the record straight in this concise and lively primer on an economic theory thats gaining popularity-with help from Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders-despite its universal failure as an economic model and its truly horrific record on human rights.In sixteen eye-opening chapters, DiLorenzo reveals how socialism inevitably makes inequality worse, why socialism was behind the worst government-sponsored mass murders in history, the myth of successful Scandinavian socialism; how socialism is worse-far worse-for the environment than capitalism, and more.As DiLorenzo shows, and history proves, socialism is the answer only if you want increasing unemployment and poverty, stifling bureaucracy if not outright political tyranny, catastrophic environmental pollution, rotten schools, and so many social ills that it takes a book like this to cover just the big ones.Provocative, timely, essential reading, Thomas J. DiLorenzos The Problem with Socialismis an instant classic comparable to Henry Hazlitts Economics in One Lesson.'In the words of Thomas E. Woods - "Dance on socialism's grave by reading this book."
