A review by holtfan
The Road to Serfdom by Friedrich A. Hayek, Bruce Caldwell

5.0

There is something a little awe-inspiring about reading a book and realizing how much of your personal philosophy and intellectual heritage you owe to it. I got the same feeling the first time I read [b:Two Treatises of Government|137437|Two Treatises of Government (Library of Primary Sources)|John Locke|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png|3078362]. When I consider the impact this book has had on my life and work, it amazes me it took me this long to read it.
This should be required reading alongside [b:1984|40961427|1984|George Orwell|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1532714506s/40961427.jpg|153313]. It conveys the problems of socialism and yet eerily resembles a conversation we could be having today.
Thought-provoking and inspiring, I highly recommend this one.
