Puffed by Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, Hayek’s Road to Serfdom has been surfing the best seller lists recently, the new edition with the long scholarly introduction by Bruce Caldwell, which I doubt many buyers will read. They are using it to bash Obama and charge him with being a socialist-fascist-nazi-communist, etc., starting with his health care proposal, all of course failing to notice that Hayek in RTS came out for national health insurance and some degree of more general social insurance. But, hey, we want to wave the book like Red Guards waving Chairman Mao’s Thoughts, not read the thing. Please. How Slippery Is Hayek’s Slope In Road To Serfdom? ☀
