@Capitalism, Socialism & Democracy Thomas Jay Lewellen

Our IQs tend to slip during elections but not because we are low information voters. Angry advertising harms our thinking instead of fluffing up our knowledge. Socialism and capitalism are pejoratives bandied about like bruising swords. How these economic notions work - their benefits, liabilities, and requirements - and are coupled to democracy never seep into political dialog.

Each chapter of @SCD compares economic notions never voiced in political talking points nor advertising. Topics include idea generation, property, freedom versus equality, social justice versus individual justice and much more. The book's novel approach to each topic will arm the voter against political animus and misinformation spewing from our nation's capital.

Conclusions include a strategic plan for how transition from our poorly run government (regardless of a capitalist or socialist approach) to a simpler, smarter, best run government.
