The Road to Serfdom is a must-read for anyone interested in political philosophy, intellectual and cultural history, and economics. This book explores the dangers of state control over the means of production, and how the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would inevitably lead not to utopia but to the horrors of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. F.A. Hayek's timeless meditation on the relation between individual liberty and government authority is an arresting call to all well-intentioned planners and socialists, democrat and liberal at heart to stop, look and listen.
