"Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis," by Ludwig von Mises

Hopefully this book is better then the previous anti-Socialist book I read. I really want to understand this subject, but having to weed through all the right-wing noise and junk arguments makes it incredibly difficult to develop a clear and concise understanding of what Socialism actually is and why it's bad. However, based on what I've read about Ludwig von Mises, he actually provides legitimate and logical arguments with factual evidence as support, rather than simply spewing out mere propaganda and hate speech like so many others.

Here's hoping for an enlightening reading experience! ^_^

    Yeah, but I want to understand WHY.

    Simply slapping a label on it doesn't explain why it's slavery.

    Do you want a response, or "right-wing noise"? Or "hate speech"?

    Socialism is slavery. That covers the subject. Label it however you like.
