Описание: Do We Have to Say It Again? Socialism Sucks

Apparently we do. Because today millions of Americans--young and old--are flocking to the socialist banner and chanting, "What do we want? Socialism--the economic system that has impoverished people everywhere and resulted in the deaths of tens of millions And when do we want it? Now "

Really?

Most people seem somehow to have missed Economics 101 and don't understand that socialism isn't nice, cuddly government that takes care of everything for you so that you can remain an adolescent forever. No, we've seen it tried over and over again with catastrophic consequences.

Luckily, two semi-sober economists have toured the socialist world so you don't have to. And they've come back with this stunning report: Socialism Sucks

Along the way, you'll learn:

- Why the so-called Swedish model might be attractive, but sure isn't socialism (Sweden is capitalism with a big welfare state)

- How socialist Venezuela went from being the toast of liberals everywhere--Viva Venezuela --to being just toast

- Why you never see new cars in Cuba

- Why no one forgets to turn out the lights in North Korea (hint: there aren't any)

- Why American socialists have no idea what socialism really is

How hard it is to find good beer--or sometimes any beer at all--in socialist countries

Irreverent but honest economists Robert Lawson and Benjamin Powell have all the data--and even more important, the firsthand global experience--to affirm that socialism fails to deliver on any of the utopian promises it makes and instead is very bad for your economic (and other) health. This is a book that every American who values freedom and sound economics (and good beer) needs to read.

Описание: The Economics of Immigration shows that immigration could significantly boost world GDP, does little to impact the job prospects or wages of the native born population, has little net fiscal impact, and that immigrants are not assimilating more slowly than prior generations.

Описание:

Why do some nations become rich while others remain poor? Traditional mainstream economic growth theory has done little to answer this question—during most of the twentieth century the theory focused on models that assumed growth was a simple function of labor, capital, and technology. Through a collection of case studies from Asia and Africa to Latin America and Europe, Making Poor Nations Rich argues for examining the critical role entrepreneurs and the institutional environment of private property rights and economic freedom play in economic development.

Making Poor Nations Rich begins by explaining how entrepreneurs create economic growth and why some institutional environments encourage more productive entrepreneurship than others. The volume then addresses countries and regions that have failed to develop because of barriers to entrepreneurship. Finally, the authors turn to countries that have developed by reforming their institutional environment to protect private property rights and grant greater levels of economic freedom.

The overall lesson from this volume is clear: pro-market reforms are essential to promoting the productive entrepreneurship that leads to economic growth. In countries where this institutional environment is lacking, sustained economic development will remain illusive.
