As new condition black boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments and Endnotes. Illustrated with drawings and graphs. "In Arguing With Socialists, New York Times bestselling author Glenn Beck arms readers to the teeth with the information needed to debunk socialists' most popular [and completely false] arguments, and provides proof that freemarket principles improve life for everyone, including the world's poorest nations. Despite more than a century of failure, socialism is making a forceful comeback with today's youth. It doesn't have logic or history on its side, but socialism seems to have something even more powerful: celebrities, social media influencers, and socialist politicians adored by the mainstream press, from Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Elizabeth Warren and Ilhan Omar, the modern socialist movement masks its authoritarianism with smiling, friendly faces. But although socialists often present their radical plans to fundamentally transform America as a manifestation of goodwill toward mankind, socialism hardly provides a paradise on earth. Every time socialism has ever been tried, it has failed -- and spectacularly so. From the gulags of the Soviet Union to the purges of Maoist China to present-day Venezuela, where shopkeepers now weigh stacks of worthless money and citizens have resorted to eating zoo animals to survive, socialism has proven itself to be the world's most dangerous and destructive idea. With his trademark humor, Beck lampoons the resurgence of this bankrupt leftist philosophy with hundreds of easy-to-understand stories, facts, arguments, and graphics that expose socialism's biggest flaws to anyone who is willing to ask the hard questions and pursue truth. The American Left's shiny, "new" socialism is nothing more than the same old bloody socialism it's always been, just with a slightly better marketing team. And if we don't reverse course promptly, Americans will soon end up facing the same chaos, poverty, and misery that have marked countless socialist revolutions over the past century. Blending history, economics, and philosophy, Arguing with Socialists is an essential resource for anyone who is curious about, socialism and its recent resurgence." -- from the inner front jacket flap.
