Why do so many Americans these days—especially young ones—seem to have a favorable opinion of socialism? So much so that a self-proclaimed socialist is a leading presidential candidate.
Well, perhaps they don’t really know what socialism is.
Today on the BreakPoint Podcast, Dr. Jay Richards gives us not only a solid definition of socialism, but he gives us the history of socialism and explains its flawed assumptions about economics, government, and human nature.
Dr. Richards’s presentation was one of a 4-part online Colson Center Short Course about preparing for the 2020 election.
