Apparently we do. Because today millions of Americans—young and old—are flocking to the socialist banner and chanting, “What do we want? Socialism—the economic system that has impoverished people everywhere and resulted in the deaths of tens of millions! And when do we want it? Now!”

Really?

Most people seem somehow to have missed Economics 101 and don’t understand that socialism isn’t nice, cuddly government that takes care of everything for you so that you can remain an adolescent forever. No, we’ve seen it tried over and over again with catastrophic consequences.

Luckily, two semi-sober economists have toured the socialist world so you don’t have to. And they’ve come back with this stunning report: Socialism Sucks!

The reviews have fellas toasting brewskies (beer [man drink{validate my gender pls}]) to socialism sucking.

Excellent book, informative , interesting a well written book.A great book to give to any college student ot aspiring college student. Try to get some real world facts to them before there indoctrination is complete by there marxist no nothing professors.

As a Cuban refugee Socialism sucks!- Really good book. As someone that escaped communist Cuba I could not relate more. Millennials now want ”socialism” and part of me can’t wait until their iPhones are taken away and they can’t buy Starbucks so they learn that a system that killed millions is not a good idea. I am 32 years old and that system traumatized me for life. I still wake up screaming with nightmares and then turn on the TV in the States to see Bernie...... irony of my life I guess.

    "Under socialism, how would you know to eat chicken nuggets and not poop, hmm?"

    101 professors are a real tossup. Quality of professors gets better at higher level courses, but also you should look at how many business school classes they teach. Save for a handful, the best econ professors I had were employed within the business school and not the liberal arts college where the econ department was.

        The thing is that they wouldn't be able to actually teach their classes worth a damn if they were.

        It's not an ideological thing. Business schools are more results-focused than liberal arts schools. If your theory sucks, it will eventually show up in your investment returns.

      Yeah this guy was a prof at a small evangelical college, not exactly a high quality education.
