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

3.0

I can save you the trouble of reading a few hundred pages with a summary of Hayek's views of collectivism: socialism and all its central planning permutations are bad and must logically lead to totalitarianism and the death of liberty. To this end, he walks through various reasoned arguments and unless you're a Chapo Trap House diehard, you'll nod right along in agreement. But this isn't a rigorous work, contains some suspicious interpretations of European history and ends up somehow not particularly convincing, even though I already agreed with all his conclusions.
