BASIC ECONOMICS (1)

About Basic Economics with Holly Jean

Welcome to LOLA’s newest series on YouTube –Basic Economics with Holly Jean where I will be breaking down today’s most pressing issues through the lens of economics and liberty for anyone to understand. I will be dissecting all economic issues from inflation, GDP, capitalism vs socialism, and much more. I challenge individuals to think for themselves instead of relying on the mainstream media or popular opinion when it comes to the economic issues of today’s society. Plus, I’m here to take away the misconception that economics has to be dry, boring and dull –because, well, none of these words define me.

Join me as I break down economic concepts in a clear and concise, way for anyone to understand.

See you there!

What’s the difference between democratic socialism, socialism and communism?

In this episode of Basic Economics with Holly Jean, LOLA’s Director of Operations and economist Holly Jean Soto breaks down socialism, communism, and democratic socialism. She explains how democratic socialism—now ...popular among Gen Z—is essentially socialism in disguise, rebranded with a shiny label but rooted in the same ideology of government control.

Holly also analyzes New York politician Zohran Mamdani’s proposals and demonstrates why policies like wealth redistribution, government-run industries, and central planning are not just misguided—they are dangerous for economic freedom and individual liberty. Learn how these systems slowly expand government power and why understanding the roots of socialist ideas is critical for protecting liberty today.

Basic Economics with Holly Jean is designed to make economics easy to understand for everyone, linking real-world policy debates to the principles of freedom and free markets.
