The American Welfare State Tomorrow.This book discusses socialism and democracy. It approaches socialism not as a label but as an ideology. Based on a careful examination of what socialism is, traced back to Karl Marx, this book explains the tense relationship between socialism and democracy and how it has influenced political thought and practice in both Europe and America. This book carefully avoids conventional wisdom, seeking instead to originate its definition and analysis of socialism in its political theory and practice. Building on the relationship between socialism and democracy, the book explores how this uneasy roommate agreement may affect America’s future. Sven R. Larson is a Ph.D. political economist and author. He has worked for free-market think tanks and been an advisor to elected officials and political campaigns. .Political scienceEconomicsPolitical sciencePhilosophyPolitical TheoryPolitical Economy and Economic SystemsGovernance and GovernmentPolitical PhilosophyPolitical science.Economics.Political sciencePhilosophy.Political Theory.Political Economy and Economic Systems.Governance and Government.Political Philosophy.605320.5310973Larson Sven R.1225542MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483728703321Democracy or socialism2845415UNINA
