<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Paul, U.S. senator for Kentucky and America's most prominent libertarian, makes a case against socialist ideology, showing the impact of its deadly legacy and the threat of its new rise in America.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A recent poll showed 43% of Americans think more socialism would be a good thing. What do these people not know? </strong></p><p>Socialism has killed millions, but it's now the ideology <em>du jour</em> on American college campuses and among many leftists. Reintroduced by leaders such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the ideology manifests itself in starry-eyed calls for free-spending policies like Medicare-for-all and student loan forgiveness. </p><p>In <em>The Case Against Socialism</em>, Rand Paul outlines the history of socialism, from Stalin's gulags to the current famine in Venezuela. He tackles common misconceptions about the "utopia" of socialist Europe. As it turns out, Scandinavian countries love capitalism as much as Americans, and have, for decades, been cutting back on the things Bernie loves the most.</p><p>Socialism's return is only possible because many Americans have forgotten the true dangers of the twentieth-century's deadliest ideology. Paul reveals the devastating truth: for every college student sporting a Che Guevara T-shirt, there's a Venezuelan child dying of starvation. Desperate refugees flee communist Cuba to escape oppressive censorship, rationed food and squalid hospitals, not "free" healthcare. Socialist dictatorships like the People's Republic of China crush freedom of speech and run massive surveillance states while masquerading as enlightened modern nations. Far from providing economic freedom, socialist governments enslave their citizens. They offer illusory promises of safety and equality while restricting personal liberty, tightening state power, sapping human enterprise and making citizens dependent on the dole.</p><p>If socialism takes hold in America, it will imperil the fate of the world's freest nation, unleashing a plague of oppressive government control. <em>The Case Against Socialism</em> is a timely response to that threat and a call to action against the forces menacing American liberty.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"No U.S. senator in the modern era can rival Senator Rand Paul's fidelity to the first principles of the free market. In this no-holds-barred and fun-to-read broadside, Paul shows why and how he stands alone in defending your right to engage in economic activities free from government intrusion and your constitutional right to a federal government that spends less than it takes. He also demonstrates how everything the central planners touch turns into dust."--<strong>Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, senior judicial analyst, Fox News Channel, and bestselling author</strong><br><br>“Anyone who loves America--our freedom, our Judeo-Christian tradition-- must read this book. Thanks to Rand Paul for reminding all of us of the perils of today's faddish belief that more government control will make us happier.” --<strong>Laura Ingraham, Fox News host, <em>The Ingraham Angle</em></strong><br><br>“You wouldn't think a book like this would be necessary but it is, and thank God we have it. Pay special attention to chapter 19, 'Socialism Becomes Authoritarianism.' It does, every time.” --<strong>Tucker Carlson</strong><br><br>“Communists in Russia killed my father. My mother experienced socialism up close and personal. I've lived under socialism while working in Cuba and South America. This book explains concisely and historically how state violence and poverty is not an aberration of socialism, but rather its inevitable consequence.”--<strong>Jon Basil Utley, publisher, <em>The American Conservative</em></strong><br><br>“I grew up in China during one of history's darkest eras: Mao's socialistic Cultural Revolution. I appreciate the freedom that I have now in America so much because I used to not have it. All Americans need to read <em>The Case Against Socialism</em>, so that we will be reminded just how precious our freedom and our country are.”--<strong>Ming Wang, MD, PhD, Nashville, TN</strong><br>
