The road to serfdom

Routledge, 2001 - Business & Economics - 256 pages
The Road to Serfdom remains one of the all-time classics of twentieth-century intellectual thought. For over half a century, it has inspired politicians and thinkers around the world, and has had a crucial impact on our political and cultural history. With trademark brilliance, Hayek argues convincingly that, while socialist ideals may be tempting, they cannot be accomplished except by means that few would approve of. Addressing economics, fascism, history, socialism and the Holocaust, Hayek unwraps the trappings of socialist ideology. He reveals to the world that little can result from such ideas except oppression and tyranny. Today, more than fifty years on, Hayek's warnings are just as valid as when The Road to Serfdom was first published.

This book was really good. Incredibly good. It was also terribly boring. It is the only reason why I can't give it 5 stars. If I could give it 4.5 I would. The collectivist state and all the trappings ... Read full review
