Capitalism, Socialism, and the Physical Quality of Life
null
Book •
This study empirically compares the quality of life in socialist and capitalist countries, controlling for the level of economic development.
It challenges common anti-socialist arguments by demonstrating that socialist countries often outperform capitalist countries at similar development levels in key metrics like health and education.
The authors use data from the World Bank to support their findings, focusing on indicators such as infant mortality, life expectancy, and literacy rates.
The study's methodology is praised for its rigorous approach and its ability to counter misleading comparisons between countries at vastly different stages of development.
The study's conclusions highlight the material benefits of socialist policies.
