" Free-market economists Robert Lawson and Benjamin Powell travel to countries like Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, and Sweden to investigate the dangers and idiocies of socialism—while drinking a lot of beer ." Suggested Reading - Not a Review (YET). I saw these two economists on a Fox Show, like...Tucker Carlson. Maybe? I remember that they were discussing this book and both were really funny.

To each and every one of you: WELCOME to REVIEWS FROM the RIGHT  Eventually, I'll go back and post the reviews I've already written, mostly on books I've already read. But...since it's October, the month that ends with All Hallows Eve, Dia de Los Muertos, a/k/a Halloween, I'm going to watch mostly Horror or Psychological Thriller flix. Making October just like any other month in the year.  Yes, I'm a huge fan of the frightening, the scary, the dark, the twisted, the 'I can't watch this scene, I'm turning my head so I don't hurl on my laptop ( or phone, or PC keyboard...because I don't watch anything on TV )' I'm going to spend time watching a flic that makes me feel.
