Book opens readers’ eyes to truth on implemented socialistic economic systems
FAIRVIEW, Texas – Author Phillip J. Bryson has been concerned about the movement of the United States and economy toward socialistic policies ever since the Obama administration. And having taught and written about economic systems for over 40 years and having heard much about socialism from pundits in the media who seem to know little about it, the author felt compelled to create a truly eye-opening read to confront this issue.
“Socialism” (published by Xlibris) is about all economic aspects of socialism, telling where it came from, what its principles are, how various nations have implemented socialistic economic systems and how it has malfunctioned and failed over the decades. After showing how and why socialist systems have failed to enhance the lives of people of various nations, the book reviews the reasons for the failure of socialism to take root in the United States earlier. The book reviews, finally, President Obama’s efforts to achieve a “fundamental transformation” of the American system.
The central theme of the book is that the market economy (capitalism) provides the mechanics and the incentives that are essential for economic success, i.e., for economic growth, employment and well-being. It also shows how the socialist economy overburdens the nation’s bureaucracy with the task of organizing processes and activities that are performed automatically in a decentralized, private-sector market system. “Socialism” is a truly eye-opening read.
