Transformation of the welfare state Book

It is a tough and slow read. Mr. Foster is a communist and uses statistics to demonstrate how excellent the Soviet system under Lenin is and how bad Fascism, Socialism, and Capitalism in America are. The most useful information I gleaned from this book is how he describes each of the different economic theories. Most of his glorious successes in the former Soviet Union have been shown by history to be failures. Still, he explains how someone might come to believe such tripe. For students of government and economics, it should be a more interesting read.
