Review title: Unfortunately unconvincing
Product review: The book is quite interesting from a historical point of view. However, its major failure is exemplified by Mr. Sowell review below. The tragic mistake of confusing totalitarianism with socialism is repeated here. Mr. Sowell's soundbite "redistribution of wealth leads to redistribution of poverty" is just plain wrong. Some counter examples might include Social Security, Medicare, and Urban Housing assistance--all products of socialism that have immensely benefited our society. Sweden, one of the most socialized countries in the world, is also judged by The Economist as one of the most economically competitive--the point is that Sweden is socialistic but democratic. That a learned scholar, Mr. Muravchik, would fail to clarify the difference in a substantial text is disappointing.
