SOCIALISM AS THE TEFLON DREAM

Nobody so far has challenged the facts in Peter Berger’s The Capitalist Revolution: Fifty Propositions about Prosperity, Equality, and Liberty (Basic). Using detailed evidence from around the world, Berger argues convincingly that capitalism is marvelous for prosperity, as good as or better than anything else for equality, and probably essential for liberty. Socialism, he demonstrates, is just the opposite. Yet socialists who have reviewed the book claim Berger has not laid a glove on them.
