Can you imagine in living a Socialist USA?

Nope, I really can't. Like the editor Francis Goldin just said, the general American public (as well as most other countries) don't know what Socialism is and tend to think of it as some sort of evil.

The book comes out at a time when polls show Americans aged 18 to 29 have a more favorable reaction to the word "socialism" than "capitalism
.

Really? That surprises me, but maybe they're just looking at it and under the misinformed 'lesser of two evils'.

Or they know that capitalism is evil and anything else is better?
