A classic work in political philosophy, intellectual history and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians and scholars for half a century. Originally published in 1944, it was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production. For Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would lead not to a utopia but to the horrors of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
This new edition includes a foreword by series editor and leading Hayek scholar Bruce Caldwell explaining the book's origins and publishing history and assessing common misinterpretations of Hayek's thought. Caldwell has also standardized and corrected Hayek's references and added helpful new explanatory notes. Supplemented with an appendix of related materials and forewords to earlier editions by the likes of Milton Friedman, and Hayek himself, this new edition of The Road to Serfdom will be the definitive version of Friedrich Hayek's enduring masterwork.

Maybe one of the greatest Austrian Economists describes how countries slip into serfdom by adopting
economic policies that depart from true free market systems. The current Keynesian Economics used
by the US and other countries hands more and more power to the government, which is backed by the
super wealthy bankers and corporate elite. A must read by anyone concerned about our current economic
and political mess.
This book is very dated. No one talks about the kind of socialism he is worried about. His comments about conservatism in the 70s preface are spot on.
A great economics text. I wish all Congress had to read this book prior to serving.
Very good book with good advice and great history.
A challenge, a pleasure, and a privilege to read.
