Praise for this Book

Socialism is based on bureaucratic planning. This means a restriction of personal freedom. The dream of equality, a goal even of democratically dressed up socialism, can only be achieved by coercion. With clear logic Thorsten Polleit shows in this important work the aims and ways in which democratic socialism moves toward a globally planned state, dominated by a ‘nomenclatura’. With convincing logic, however, he also presents the free market economy as a superior alternative. A fascinating book!

“A really great achievement.”
     — DR. HANS-HERMANN HOPPE, THE PROPERTY AND FREEDOM SOCIETY

Is there a connection between political centralization, mass immigration and the quest for a common currency? Yes. Thorsten Polleit exposes with captivating logic the destructive power of democratic socialism, its tools and its aspirations for world domination. Both an enlightening and cautionary book. Essential reading!

A minimum of theoretically sound knowledge that enables us to grasp the content, the significance and the impact of the dominant socio-economic systems of our times is the precondition of any meaningful discussion. All readers, whatever their political views, will find much to stimulate their thinking in Thorsten Polleit’s new book. His breadth and scope, the stark nature of his arguments and his eye for absurdity will provoke both thought and emotions. Polleit, once again helps us think more clearly about today’s pressing issues.
