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. . 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aEconomics 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aPolitical Theory 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 606 $aGovernance and Government 606 $aPolitical Philosophy 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aPolitical Philosophy. 676 $a605 676 $a320.5310973 700 $aLarson$b Sven R.$01225542 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483728703321 996 $aDemocracy or socialism$92845415 997 $aUNINA
