Depends what you mean by a book. If you mean a book dedicated (broadly speaking) to the subject you're interested then of course that's going to be superior. There's no way a four thousand word article (on Marxism) can compete with even the shortest book on the subject (or the M&E 40 volume collected works).
But Wiki vs Britannica (say), Wiki doesn't do too badly.
