Dear Fellow American,
Today, I’m excited to share with you our latest Teaching Freedom eBook titled, The Rise of Democratic Socialism.
It’s written by Dr. Anne Bradley, the George and Sally Mayer Fellow for Economic Education, the Academic Director here at The Fund for American Studies (TFAS), and a brilliant economist.
With folks like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others promoting “democratic socialism” and pointing to the Nordic countries as the path for the United States, many young people have focused on their cries of “equality” and “justice” that this approach would provide.
But is that true? By what standards should we evaluate hard-to-measure things like “human flourishing” or “equality” or “justice”…?
In this new Teaching Freedom eBook, Dr. Bradley answers the following questions (and many more):
- What key questions do we need to ask ourselves about “democratic socialism” — and how it compares to traditional Marxism or socialism.
- How has “democratic socialism” gained such popularity and what percentage of young voting Americans actually favor it?
- What truths about human nature will always undermine socialism — by any name — from truly working wherever it is tried?
- What are the five things that economists use to measure “economic freedom” — and how do these Nordic countries rank in those categories?
- Which path promotes the greatest opportunity for human flourishing, equality, and justice?
- And much, much more...
