Socialism And American Ideals (1919)

Socialism and American Ideals is a book written by William Starr Myers and published in 1919. The book examines the history and principles of socialism and compares them with American ideals. Myers argues that socialism is incompatible with American values of individualism, democracy, and capitalism. He traces the origins of socialism to European thinkers such as Karl Marx and argues that their ideas are fundamentally different from those of American thinkers such as Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. Myers also critiques the socialist movement in the United States, arguing that it is misguided and will ultimately fail to achieve its goals. The book is a critique of socialism from a conservative viewpoint and provides insight into the debates surrounding socialism in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
