Stalin.s gulag, impoverished North Korea, collapsing Cuba...it.s hard to name
a dogma that has failed as spectacularly as socialism. And yet leaders around
the world continue to subject millions of people to this dysfunctional,
violence-prone ideology.

In The Politically Incorrect Guide. to Socialism, Kevin Williamson reveals
the fatal flaw of socialism.that efficient, complex economies simply can.t
be centrally planned. But even in America, that hasn.t stopped politicians
and bureaucrats from planning, to various extents, the most vital sectors of
our economy: public education, energy, and the most arrogant central.planning
effort of them all, Obama.s healthcare plan.

In this provocative book, Williamson unfolds the grim history of socialism,
showing how the ideology has spawned crushing poverty, devastating famines,
and horrific wars. Lumbering from one crisis to the next, leaving a trail
of economic devastation and environmental catastrophe, socialism has wreaked
more havoc, caused more deaths, and impoverished more people than any other
ideology in history.especially when you include the victims of fascism, which
Williamson notes is simply a variant of socialism.

Williamson further demonstrates:

* Why, contrary to popular belief, socialism in theory is no better than
socialism in practice
* Why socialism can.t exist without capitalism
* How the energy powerhouse of Venezuela, under socialism, has become
an economic basket case subject to rationing and blackouts
* How socialism, not British colonialism, plunged the bountiful economy
of India into stagnation and dysfunction.and how capitalism is rescuing it
* Why socialism is inextricably linked to communism

If you thought socialism went into the dustbin of history with the collapse
of the Soviet Union, think again. Socialism is alive and kicking, and it.s
already spread further than you know.
