Thank you!

Thank you for requesting your copy of Leaving Socialism Behind: A Lesson From German History. It should be arriving in your inbox momentarily.

Just as it did a century ago, socialism is becoming more and more popular in the U.S and around the world. But as history shows us in places like cold war Germany, freedom and individualism were eliminated under this system. And as you will read and recall, people living under socialist rule sought to flee such countries in favor of freedom and prosperity.

In times like these, it’s important to understand the history of socialism and its many failures.

That’s why the Hoover Institution is working to improve the human condition by advancing ideas that promote opportunity and prosperity, limit government intrusion into the lives of individuals, and secure and safeguard peace for all.

Our eminent scholars and world-renowned Library and Archives have directly led to policies that have produced greater freedom, democracy, and opportunity in the United States and around the world. And we offer free resources—like Leaving Socialism Behind: A Lesson From German History—to educate citizens about the benefits of economic and political freedom.

But in order to do this critical work, we need your help.
