Overview of The Road to Serfdom

Hayek's 1944 masterpiece warns how socialism leads to totalitarianism. Praised by rival economist Keynes as "a grand book," it influenced Reagan's policies and predicted modern threats to freedom. What freedoms are you unknowingly surrendering to government control today?

When Good Intentions Build Prison Walls

Picture a well-meaning committee deciding what you'll eat for breakfast, where you'll work, and how you'll spend your evenings-all for your own good, of course. Sounds absurd? Yet this is precisely the trajectory Friedrich Hayek warned against in 1944, when his slim book became an unlikely bestseller that reached over 600,000 Americans. What made an Austrian economist's academic treatise so explosively popular? He answered a haunting question: How did Germany, once the pinnacle of Western civilization, descend into Nazi barbarism? More unsettling still, he argued that Britain and America were sleepwalking down the same path. Margaret Thatcher later slammed his book on a table, declaring "This is what we believe!" Today, as calls for expanded government control resurface under new banners, his warnings feel less like history and more like prophecy.
