Yuri Maltsev: Socialism, Fascism, and Trumpism

On Mises Weekends this week, in honor of the 24th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s collapse, Jeff Deist’s guest is  Dr. Yuri Maltsez, a senior fellow at the Mises Institute and a professor of Economics at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Yuri is famous for having been a Soviet economist during the Gorbachev era and defecting to the United States.

Yuri and Jeff discuss Trump-ism, the Bernie Sanders phenomenon, and Western progressives’ silly and enduring love affair with socialism. They also discuss what the often-misused terms socialism and fascism really mean.
