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‚¬Å“What 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‚¬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.
