Since Gallup began measuring in 2010, between 35% and 40% of Americans have consistently expressed favorable views toward socialism. However, true socialist systems have almost invariably resulted in economic and humanitarian catastrophes. How can we reconcile the grim history with the perennial appeal? In this installment of the How We Got Here webinar series, Gilad Avrahami and Trevor Stern examine the growing strength of pro-socialist movements as well as this ideology’s chronically underestimated pitfalls.

Conversational, educational, and thought-provoking, How We Got Here connects current events to the longer histories behind them, helping us understand not just what’s happening, but why.
