Summary
Details

In an era of heightened political polarization, ""Socialism, Capitalism & Democracy"" offers voters a clear-eyed primer on competing economic philosophies shaping American governance. Tom Lewellen cuts through partisan rhetoric to illuminate how Socialist and Capitalist approaches influence everything from property rights and market competition to government accountability and personal freedom.

Drawing on insights from Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Joseph Schumpeter, Lewellen examines how these principles manifest in real-world policies affecting education, retirement, healthcare, and poverty reduction. The book reveals why some government programs succeed while others fail to meet objectives despite massive spending.

Rather than advocating for either extreme, Lewellen proposes a middle path featuring evidence-based governance-a system that tests hypotheses, measures outcomes, and adapts when programs underperform. His proposed ""CIVIL Governance"" platform offers ten transformative reforms designed to increase economic growth, improve government efficiency, and bridge partisan divides.

Written for the common voter but rich with economic insights, this accessible exploration exposes how America's oscillation between competing governance models has hampered growth and created unsustainable systems. With China's economic ascendance looming, Lewellen presents a compelling case for transforming America's approach to governance before it's too late.

If you enjoyed ""Why Nations Fail,"" ""Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop,"" and ""Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy,"" you'll love ""Socialism, Capitalism & Democracy: Primer For The Voter.""
