Socialism: The Grand Delusion by Arthur Seldon; Brian Crozier PB

Description: After one hundred years it's time to bury socialism. The workers of the world have been deceived long enough." Taking this statement as their departure point, Brian Crozier and Arthur Seldon offer a lively, incisive polemic that not only de- scribes socialism, but explodes it. Through careful scrutiny of theories and actual case studies, the authors convincingly explain why the socialism of the 1980s, far from being a society of mutual compassion and sharing, is nothing more than larger doses of regulations, centralization of political power, and bureaucracy. Only the slogans are new. Political economist Arthur Seldon presents his case for the inevitable failure of socialism to deliver what it has promised. Seldon analyzes theoretical contradictions of socialist eco- nomics and concludes that what is owned by everyone is, in effect, owned by no one. Through a short account of Karl Marx and other 19th- and early 20th-century proponents of socialism and short case studies of the Soviet prototype, its East European satellites, Far Eastern models, Cuba, and the Third World, Brian Crozier provides fur- ther evidence against socialism. He also depicts "welfare social- ism" in the West as excessive, bureaucratic, and fraudulent. Illustrator Michael Cummings provides topical political cartoons that acutely underscore the case against socialism. BRIAN CROZIER writes a column for the National Review and is co-author of This War Called Peace (Universe 1985). ARTHUR SELDON is the author of a number of books on economics and edits the journal Economic Affairs. MICHAEL CUMMINGS is political cartoonist for London's daily and Sunday Express.
