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.
