Sign up for the Hoover Institution lecture, Socialism vs. Capitalism

Socialism and capitalism provide two distinct answers as to who controls decisions in the economy. 

A historical criticism of socialism is that it inevitably leads to totalitarianism. On the other hand, the objections to capitalism range from disagreement with its principles to critiques of its outcomes.

But what are the pros and cons of each? And which one has proven to be the better economic system for countries around the world?

To examine the answers to these questions and more, the Hoover Institution asked Hoover Senior Fellow Peter Berkowitz to join our Policy Bootcamp to discuss both these economic systems—and we’ve created a video lecture based on his discussion: Socialism vs. Capitalism.

And today, we are inviting you to take it for FREE.

Inside this lecture, Peter Berkowitz will give you a deeper understanding of: 

  • The criticisms of capitalism and socialism

  • The disagreement between Karl Marx and John Locke

  • The critique of centralized economic planning

If you’re interested in the history of capitalism and socialism and better understanding the political and economic consequences of each system, then this lecture is designed for you.
