Is socialism just? Is socialism fair? Does socialism produce equality, peace, and prosperity for all?

Come find out!

Dr. Joshua Muravchik, author of "Heaven on Earth: The Rise and Fall of Socialism," dispels the myths and tells the true story of the social system that has captivated so many Americans in the last few years.

Join us Saturday, Feb. 8, 6:30-8 p.m., at the Millyard Museum in downtown Manchester. Appetizers and beverages will be served. As the socialist paradise still awaits, there is a nominal $10 cover charge (capitalism, what can you do?).

Raised in a socialist family, Dr. Muravchik as a young man joined the Young People's Socialist League, the youth arm of the Socialist Party of America, becoming its national chairman in the late 1960s. As an academic, he became a leading critic of socialism. His book, "Heaven On Earth: The Rise and Fall of Socialism" chronicles the failure of socalism to realize its stated goals despite its constant reorganization and reinvention.

This event begins with a reception at 6:30 followed by a presentation by Dr. Muravchik and a Q&A session afterward. Copies of "Heaven on Earth" will be available for purchase and signing.

Presented by the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy.
