Publisher's Summary
Opinion polls show that many people in the US prefer socialism to capitalism. But after being declared dead and buried for decades, socialism has come to mean little more than something vaguely less cruel and stupid than what we have now. That's not exactly going to inspire millions to storm the barricades.
Danny Katch brings together the two great Marxist traditions of Karl and Groucho to provide an entertaining and insightful introduction to what the socialist tradition has to say about democracy, economics, and the potential of human beings to be something more than bomb-dropping, planet-destroying, racist fools.

Important. Needed. Great Introduction to Socialism.
I have a PhD in Economics from one of the best EU universities, and I endorse the capitalism critique in this book. To those who think the author made a straw man of free market’s & capitalism — he hasn’t. Free markets NEVER work in real life. Google “market failure” & see Nobel prizes awarded to the economists who investigate market failures. Socialism must be a mandatory requirement to teach in colleges.

Hilarious… but not the way the author intended.
What absolute drivel. It’s like the author is trying to sell Socialism to a class of 3rd graders, constantly strawmanning every argument against socialism and for free markets, presenting misleading half truths and statistics…. And Chapter 6, my goodness Chapter 6, Mr. Katch should be f***ing embarrassed for writing that ‘Imagine’ section. Hilarious as it was, it actually perfectly encapsulates the ridiculous, fantastical idealism of any legitimate socialist.

Cute but nonsense
A nonsensical and limited view of the potential of a socialist utopia. Very little substance to any arguments. This propaganda piece reads like it was written by a teenager with no experience outside of a university. I was so hoping to be sold on a socialist worldview, but based on this book, socialism is doomed to be the subject of the daydreams of fools & tyrants. The narrator was great
