And yet leaders around the world continue to subject millions of people to this dysfunctional, violence-prone ideology. In The Politically Incorrect Guide{u2122} to Socialism, Kevin Williamson reveals the fatal flaw of socialism{u2014}that efficient, complex economies simply can{u2019}t be centrally planned. But even in America, that hasn{u2019}t stopped politicians and bureaucrats from planning, to various extents, the most vital sectors of our economy: public education, energy, and the most arrogant central{u2013}planning effort of them all, Obama{u2019}s healthcare plan. In this provocative book, Williamson unfolds the grim history of socialism, showing how the ideology has spawned crushing poverty, devastating famines, and horrific wars. Lumbering from one crisis to the next, leaving a trail of economic devastation and environmental catastrophe, socialism has wreaked more havoc, caused more deaths, and impoverished more people than any other ideology in history{u2014}especially when you include the victims of fascism, which Williamson notes is simply a variant of socialism.--
