A growing number of people throughout the world, especially younger generations, now believe that socialism is a viable political, economic, and social model. This is particularly true in the United States, where there has been an ongoing societal debate concerning whether or not the country should replace free-market capitalism with socialism.

Those arguing in favor of socialism believe that a collectivist model is superior to individual liberty, economic freedom, and limited government, are either ignorant of or willfully disregarding socialism's track record of misery, death, and utter failure. A prime reason behind this highly concerning trend is that today's educational institutions have been derelict in their duty to properly educate their students about one of the most destructive ideologies to ever plague humankind.

Socialism at a Glance attempts to fill that educational deficiency, providing a succinct summary of socialism's origins and rise in modern history while also giving detailed case studies of some of the most infamous socialist regimes that rose to power in the 20th century, including some that still exist to this day. Far from another dry history book, Socialism at a Glance provides historical anecdotes, hard data, and personal accounts of life under a selection of ruthless socialist governments.

While Socialism at a Glance is geared towards educating students who have not been exposed to accurate portrayals of socialism, it would behoove all Americans to know the unvarnished truth about this dangerous ideology, including its insidious rise in modern America and how it could ultimately doom the American experiment. Whether used a classroom resource or as a standalone book, Socialism at a Glance delivers a fact-based assessment of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels' utopian vision that will provide readers with a clear understanding of why socialism has resulted in mass poverty, death, and destruction in each and every instance it has been implemented on a grand scale.

I highly recommend this book if you're looking for a simple overview of socialism and its failures. It's short and great for kids, especially those in high school and college.
