Abstract

Well-known free market economists Robert Lawson and Benjamin Powell have had the happy idea of presenting elementary economics in a humorous way that will appeal to those “turned off” by serious and sober scholarship. In the latter adjective lies the key to their approach. Both of the authors enjoy drinking beer, and they travel around the world to various socialist countries in pursuit of their beloved beverage, making incisive comments about the economy of each country as they do so. They write in a salty style that will make millennials laugh, though some readers will find it jarring. Aimed at younger readers who tend to bre supportive of socialism, _Socialism Sucks_ has the potential to do great good if it gets into the right hands.
