DESCRIPTION:
Remember when socialism was a dirty word? Now students at America's elite universities are parroting socialist talking points and "sure thing" Hillary Clinton is struggling to win the Democratic nomination against a 74-year-old avowed socialist who promises to make the nation more like Europe. What's happened? Do Americans need a reminder about the dangers of socialist ideology and practices? Thomas DiLorenzo, economics professor and senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, deconstructs the retrograde ideology that has suddenly become disturbingly hip in The Problem with Socialism.

Three Practical Obstacles to Socialism In THE PROBLEM WITH SOCIALISM, Thomas DiLorenzo, an economics professor at Loyola University in Maryland, presents the arguments--both theoretical as well as practical, why socialism inevitably fails.The "Problem" suggested in the title is actually a trifold problem, covering three practical obstacles to socialism, which the author terms: INCENTIVE, KNOWLEDGE, and CALCULATION. The author cites concrete examples to illuminate each of the three. I confess I only knew of the first issue.INCENTIVE PROBLEMThe author shows an early instance of the "incentive problem" by looking at the American pil. Odysseus at home said Socialism, the perfect disgrace.. It is hard to find a book that in so few pages gives you a complete account of what socialism is today. Thomas J. DiLorenzo did it by synthesizing the ideas, the facts and the omnipresence of this malevolent doctrine, which is not an easy task.
