The road to serfdom
Book • 1944
In this influential book, Hayek argues that the abandonment of individualism and classical liberalism leads to a loss of freedom, the creation of an oppressive society, and ultimately, the tyranny of a dictator.
He challenges the view that fascism and Nazism are capitalist reactions against socialism, instead positing that these ideologies share common roots in central economic planning and the empowerment of the state over the individual.
The book emphasizes the dangers of collectivism and the importance of maintaining a free market system to preserve human freedom and dignity.
