{"product_id":"socialism-a-lie-full-of-hope","title":"Socialism:  A Lie Full of Hope","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery day Americans hear of socialismÕs assumed superiority. All the while, weÕre told that the free market is holding society and mankind back. WeÕre told that socialists want to make society fairer by taking from the rich and giving to the poor, that the American dream is dead, and that the youth of today must find a newer and better method if they hope to survive the ruined legacy left by their progenitors. All we have to do to remake the world into utopia is change our course from a free market to a socialist market.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe media faun over politicians for their anti-capitalist message.  Their often vitriolic rhetoric is usually ignored by many in the media that agree with a socialist spin. ItÕs a message spread by television, bias web results, streaming platforms, college professors, the news, politicians, as well as Hollywood. ItÕs a potent message that resonates especially well with the youth across the country. ItÕs a seemingly common-sense message wrapped in the banner of compassion and acceptance. With nearly the entire media spectrum proselytizing on its behalf, itÕs no surprise that America's feelings towards socialism have changed dramatically in the last few years.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book offers some explanations as to why so many people are turning to socialism. It focuses mostly on understanding the economics, and why socialism falls short of a free market. It discusses just how pervasive this message has become; that it surrounds nearly every aspect of our daily lives. It looks at the reality of outcome, and the hypocrisy of AmericaÕs ÒnewÓ democratic socialists. I explain why the free market is actually the best economic system, and for retention of freedom for all.  We will bypass the complex trappings associated with economic and political study through the use of simple statistics, economics, history, current events, and personal stories.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a veteran, MBA, classical liberal, history and economics nerd, and father, I felt compelled to speak up about this subject. Our future depends on others understanding basic economics and the dangers of socialism. We need to discuss the truth of what free markets and socialism have accomplished; even if neither is a perfect system we would like it to be. Please join me in understanding before the promotion of free thought, speech, and the free exchange of goods and ideas is a relic of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Herbstreith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44420201185441,"sku":"9781734709704","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/176jwnzm-front-shortedge-384_c729f6c2-49b9-47d3-8dc2-ee5bda4399df.jpg?v=1747596913","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/socialism-a-lie-full-of-hope","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
