He was right about the nazis and there control of their country and industry etc. but he gives recomendations for America to be more controlled by the federal government in the way of economics and industry!…..Wrong! Why do you think a lot of the corporations have left our country for little or no taxation, no OSHA, EPA, capital gains tax and on and on?..Even China has a much better attitude towards business than America!Mr.Hayek doesn’t believe that income and a good lifestyle isn’t that important compared to other concerns of life!…What an idiot!…Just ask anyone if they want to get paid less and work more hours?..That’s just what his “caring” socialistic attitude encompasses when he talks of equality in income for all people!
He thinks the government can run utilities, and other industries better than corporations!….Is he in a dream world?..Everybody knows that the federal government and other governments do a terrible job being efficient!…Just go to your post office to mail a package on time!…That’s why we’ve got UPS and Federal Express!…..
Mr. Hayek better pull his head out, he’s still in the Feudal state in his English limey mind! Basically boys and girls, he believes in the elite on top and you and me the serfs!….heavens we’re not smart enough as a whole American people to run our own country according to his “Majesty”!..He’s still in the feudal age of Kings and Queens where you’re property was their property if they wanted it!You we’re a Nothing!…..Classic attitude of the crown heads of Europe!
He also believes in the U.N which was to later come about. He also makes mention of having a workable world government, a superstate!….WEll, hello to the socialists and communists long dream of a “World Utopia”…the elite are still working on it!
Hey, did Soviet Russia do great after all those 70 years?….
NOPE!…It didn’t work then and it won’t work in the future!
Self employment,a free market(or at least as possible without traitors)a pro-business government, and great incentives for family making and industry is the only way to go!….Not a former british intelligence officer’s view of the future like George Orwell….1984!
It’s amazing that he was given co-winner of the Nobel prize for economics!..WE should of kicked his lousy communist/socialist butt back to England!….It’s a crock Mr. Spock!

What outdated nonsense. Don’t waste your time on this neo-liberal clap-trap.
It would be laughable, if it weren’t for the fact that so many people have already taken this vicious glorification of greed to heart.
Strictly for those who have already drank their trickle-down Kool-Aid and what to assuage the guilt (and one assumes loneliness from living in their glorious self-fabricated “society-less” society) .

Mr Hayek’s cartoon entitled The Road to Serfdom is clearly a ripoff of Ayn Rand’s very good Anthem. Why he was awarded the Nobel Prize is beyond me.
Verdict: Silly in retrospect and totally unoriginal

If you love Enron and Halliburton, and you support corporate opression of the middle-class, read this hogwash.
If capitalism is so great, why is it easier to get health care in former Communist countries like Poland? Why does Cuba have a lower infant mortality rate than the United States?

Von Hayek was for the welfare of the capitalist class and against the welfare of ordinary people. His concept of freedom is freedom for only the capitalist class.Market forces which he loves so much only give freedom to the big players, that is those with market power.Von Hayek was against economist John M. Keynes and the welfare state because they curbed the power of the capitalist class.His ideas are in vogue with the capitalists today because his ideology justifies their exploitation.This book is pure propaganda.
