The Road to Serfdom

Author: Friedrich Hayek

Hayek’s timeless classic challenges the allure of centralized planning, warning of its dangers to individual liberty. Through incisive analysis, he argues that well-intentioned efforts to control economies inevitably lead to totalitarianism. Drawing on historical examples, Hayek passionately defends free markets as the best safeguard of personal freedom. His prose is dense yet compelling, urging readers to consider the unintended consequences of government intervention. A thought-provoking read that continues to spark debate decades later.

Emergencies have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.
