NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa., Jan. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Why has capitalism proven to be such an extraordinary success and socialism such a miserable failure? In his latest book, \u201cInequality and Evolution<\/a>\u201d (published by Xlibris), financial executive and published author Charles L. Ladner offers a unique analysis of the problem of inequality and a solution to this growing economic dilemma.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through the lens of evolutionary biology, the author examines both socialism and capitalism to determine their coherence with the primary motivation of natural selection, which is the drive for survival and reproduction, otherwise known as selfishness. He finds that, to the extent that an economic system is consistent with this primitive compulsion, it is likely to be successful; but if an economic system attempts to suppress the genetic thrust of selfishness, it will likely fail. It is for this reason that socialism, on a state level always fails, while capitalism always succeeds. The historical record supports this finding.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ladner, however, points out that capitalism has, within it the seeds, its own self-destruction. In this book, he analyzes the growth of inequality in the United States from 1979 to the present day, and proposes a radical solution of income redistribution within the framework of a capitalist system.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe book presents a reasoned analysis of economic behavior centered on evolutionary principals, and from this derives a solution to the question of income inequality that is consistent with the capitalist model and its genetic foundation,\u201d the author states. \u201cThe overarching concept of this book is that biological determinism will produce predictable economic outcomes that, within limits, can be modified for the betterment of humankind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, Ladner hopes that is readers will come to appreciate: (A.) That state socialism is a failed concept and that, for biological reasons, it can never, and has never, succeeded. (B.) That since 1979, U.S. government tax and regulatory policy has been heavily biased in favor of the rich at the expense of the middle class. (C.) That this economic injustice must be rectified. (D.) That solutions can be found within the framework of capitalism.<\/p>\n
