This sounds like a book worth reading, especially for those in college - fat chance that will ever happen.

They might read it if it gets tweeted to them 2 or 3 sentences at a time.......

Sounds to me like they are still missing the key difference between capitalism and socialism, namely the former is actually selfless, the latter, selfish.

I did a lesson on this at my www.wildworldofhistory.com site.

If parents get this, and can teach their kids this simple 5-minute lesson-—which has nothing to do with supply, demand, cronyism, or any of that-—no kid would ever be a socialist because they don’t want to be thought of as “selfish.”

I’d be curious to know whether the book addresses the fact that the United States is not currently operating under Capitalism. For several decades we have been operating under a perverse form of fascism where the economic entities who best master the art of lobbying Congress get the playing field tilted in their direction and regulatory shackles placed on potential competitors.
