Socialism vs. Capitalism: A Debate
Troy University’s Manuel H. Johnson Center for Political Economy explores the rebirth of socialism in the United States with “Socialism vs. Capitalism: A Debate”
Featuring George Mason University professor Bryan Caplan, author of “The Myth of the Rational Voter,” and Penn State University professor John Marsh, author of “Class Dismissed: Why We Cannot Teach or Learn Our Way Out of Inequality,” the debate provides a unique look into both socialist and capitalist agendas in America.

I don't want government taking my money to make you equal to me. I want you to work as hard and smart to be equal to me.
I just have to make the point, that Bryan is correct on the point that Scandinavians don't work that much due to high taxes. Especially here in Finland the tax progression is very steep, which causes over 50% marginal tax rates even for the middle class.
Why is an English Professor arguing economic theory against ... wait for it .... an actual economist?
What a scam, I came here for a good old capitalism vs socialism debate and ended up having to watch a capitalism vs weak socialdemocracy debate.
This isn't really a capitalism vs socialism debate but instead a libertarian vs social democrat debate

How many of you out there who see this comment have siblings who grew up basically in the same conditions you did but whose economic outcome in life was far, far different from your own? And were there any choices they made that you can look at as accounting for that difference?

I really need this moderator to learn to enunciate. I'm sorry, but it's just hard to listen to.
May I just say that this is a refreshingly sober and respectful debate. It's not the case with so many of these that the participants respect each other and don't go into crazy theatrics. Nice job
Giving money to someone for them to give it back is efficient? Did I hear that right?
This was great!
