Book Overview
Socialism Revealed is the sequel to a long and detailed treatise on the theory and history of socialism. In the period of the Obama administration as socialism was gradually gaining ground in American politics and government, Professor Bryson was concerned about our nation's political future. After a forty-year career of researching and writing about socialist economies, he knew the hazards of economic organization in pursuit of the chimera of socialism. He produced a detailed, three-volume treatise on socialist and Marxist theories, central economic planning in several countries, and the Obama-era efforts to "transform" the American economy. This encyclopedic and comprehensive work is entitled Socialism: Origins, Expansion, Decline, and the Attempted Revival in the United States.
Knowing that not everyone has the patience and interest to digest a thorough and detailed work packed with evidence, specific details, and the analytics of economic systems, Professor Bryson has now produced this current brief sequel, Socialism Revealed: Why Socialism's Issues Have Never Permitted Success in a Real Economy. This book both summarizes the basic conclusions and updates the previously long and detailed book, Socialism.
In less than 200 pages, Socialism Revealed summarizes the history of socialist thought and socialist economic theories. It considers the results of historic attempts to develop socialist economies in the Soviet Union and the bloc countries, China, India, and in West European democratic countries. Finally, it reviews the economic implications of policies under discussion by democrats and socialist activists in the politics of the United States today.
Previously, Professor Bryson combined a detailed three-volume treaty on socialist and Marxist theories, central economic planning in several countries, and the Obama-era efforts to "transform" our economy into a single, encyclopedic, comprehensive work. That book is entitled Socialism: Origins, Expansion, Decline, and the Attempted Revival in the United States. This current brief sequel, Socialism Revealed, summarizes and updates the previously long and detailed book.
