In government, no two nations are similar in following any one
system, whether it is socially, economically, or politically —each
modifies its system according to local traditions, history, and
resources. Therefore, the terms “capitalism,” “communism,” and
“socialism” are general terms and can often be misunderstood. By
presenting a historical background, and showing how changes have
affected nations adapting to different systems, Capitalism,
Communism, Socialism introduces and compares the true meanings
of these terms, thereby putting much of the current upheaval in the
socialist/communist countries into perspective. Produced by Wayne
Mitchell.
