Socialism Revealed

Why Socialism's Issues Have Never Permitted Success In A Real Economy

by Phillip J Bryson

About The Book

Socialism Revealed is the sequel to a long and detailed treatise on the theory and history of socialism. In the period of the Obama administration as socialism was gradually gaining ground in American politics and government, Professor Bryson was concerned about our nation’s political future. After a forty-year career of researching and writing about socialist economies, he knew the hazards of economic organization in pursuit of the chimera of socialism. He produced a detailed, three-volume treatise on socialist and Marxist theories, central economic planning in several countries, and the Obama-era efforts to "transform" the American economy. This encyclopedic and comprehensive work is entitled Socialism: Origins, Expansion, Decline, and the Attempted Revival in the United States.
Knowing that not everyone has the patience and interest to digest a thorough and detailed work packed with evidence, specific details, and the analytics of economic systems, Professor Bryson has now produced this current brief sequel, Socialism Revealed: Why Socialism’s Issues Have Never Permitted Success in a Real Economy. This book both summarizes the basic conclusions and updates the previously long and detailed book, Socialism.
In less than 200 pages, Socialism Revealed summarizes the history of socialist thought and socialist economic theories. It considers the results of historic attempts to develop socialist economies in the Soviet Union and the bloc countries, China, India, and in West European democratic countries. Finally, it reviews the economic implications of policies under discussion by democrats and socialist activists in the politics of the United States today.
Previously, Professor Bryson combined a detailed three-volume treaty on socialist and Marxist theories, central economic planning in several countries, and the Obama-era efforts to "transform" our economy into a single, encyclopedic, comprehensive work. That book is entitled Socialism: Origins, Expansion, Decline, and the Attempted Revival in the United States. This current brief sequel, Socialism Revealed, summarizes and updates the previously long and detailed book.

About The Author

Phillip J. Bryson was living in Berlin when the East German communist dictatorship built a wall there, dividing the city. When he returned to the states, he studied economics to learn why a nation would have to build a wall to keep its citizens from fleeing. After receiving a PhD in Economics from The Ohio State University, he taught at the University of Arizona and Brigham Young University more than forty years before his retirement.

During his entire career he conducted research and published articles in scholarly journals on various aspects of the economic system of socialism. His early publications were mostly on the East German and Soviet economies. On several occasions he lived and worked in West Berlin and East Berlin (Karlshorst), Munich, Marburg, Duisburg, Vienna, London and Moscow. He was attending a conference in the Reichstag in West Berlin when it was announced that the Wall was open, so he experienced the beginning (August, 1961) and the end of the Wall (November, 1989).

In retirement, Professor Bryson decided to write about the nature of the socialist economic system for the general public. He had devoted his entire career to writing about the socialist system and he was concerned with the open statement of President Obama that his objective was to “transform” the American system. Bryson’s recent books have been motivated by his concern about the fiscal, social and political implications of Obama administration policies and the growing number of Americans who either acknowledge their socialist preferences openly or who continue actively as stealth socialists.
