Professor Edward F. Stuart PhD
About this listen
Ever since we produced our course Thinking About Capitalism, customers have expressed interest in a follow-up course that could help them understand socialism in the same way. After much consideration, we determined that it actually would be more beneficial to create a course that compares and contrasts the two major global economic theories, examining them in ways that move past the polemics many of us are used to and looking at these systems as they relate to one another and the world at large.
Politics and economics are inextricable, so it can be difficult to find the right person to tackle such a complex and often polarizing subject as objectively as possible. Luckily, we found Professor Edward Stuart, an economist and teacher who specializes in comparative economics. Professor Stuart brings not only economic expertise, but personal experience gleaned from teaching, traveling, and consulting all over the world, and it is this wide lens of experience that helps make Capitalism vs. Socialism such an engaging new entry in our library of courses.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Awesome Great Lecture
I cannot rate this title highly enough. From the first chapter to the last the information was current, insightful, thought-provoking and I learnt so much about the world I live in.
My only criticism would be that they were a lot of references, which is understandable to the American economy but I really would like to have seen more references to other countries for example Australia New Zealand South American etc.
If you are interested in understanding economics, socialism, communism dictatorships then I recommend you download and listen to this Great Lecture. I’m going back to chapter 1 to listen to it again.

Provides a lot of insight into modern history
Very educational and balanced overview of humanities' modern economic projects, the thinking/ values behind them, historical context and their consequences etc.
The lecturer is a skilled speaker, and gives good attention to how different cultures adapt broader ideas/ ideologies (e.g Capitalism and Socialism) in unique and sometimes unpredictable ways

Inappropriately named
This book isn't a comparison of capitalism and socialism. It's a brief history of a few countries economic systems over the past 300ish years.
The content is good and interesting, but not what I was looking for in this book.
