Few issues are more relevant today than the relationship between government and the economy. Yet, terms like socialism, fascism, and capitalism are often used by political and public figures without clear definitions or understanding. Grasping the true meaning of these systems is essential for Americans to make informed decisions about taking care of their families. In Why Socialism Struggles, economic policy expert Doug Cardell brings clarity, logic, and evidence to this contentious debate. Presented in an engaging question-and-answer format, the book simplifies complex economic concepts and addresses the most common and frequently misunderstood—questions about socialism: What is socialism, really? Why does it keep resurfacing in public discourse? Has it ever succeeded?

Drawing on decades of research, historical examples, and real-world data, Cardell demonstrates why socialism consistently results in inefficiency and the loss of individual freedoms. Each answer builds toward a compelling conclusion: Despite its theoretical appeal, socialism fails in practice because it overlooks fundamental aspects of human behavior, incentives, and the crucial role of prices in coordinating economic activity.

Like many of us, prioritizing his health happened after he ended up in a hospital bed hooked up to many machines. Lying in that bed, he realized that he was in the business of keeping others healthy, but he was not taking care of his own health. Over the next five years, he interviewed doctors from all over the world, alternative health experts, scientists, and fitness specialists, and tried all kinds of health regimens. This book is packed with the information he wished he knew before he ended up in the hospital.

Sometimes when you go through negative events, they seem like such a horrific part of your life, but the key is to look back on the pain and say, "How do I let this motivate me for a better future?" Use it as fuel to propel you forward. In the words of his mother, "Find the power in this moment."

What he has learned on his personal journey. Leadership and company culture best-in-class-strategies, health and wellness, and social justice are some of his favorite things to talk about. When he shares information with others, he learns so much from their comments. Let us go farther on this journey by creating civil conversations around important topics, he says.

His personal health journey inspired his latest book.

He is the author of The Miracle Morning After 50: A Proven Path to Joy, Vitality, and Purpose for Aging Adults.
