The Road to Slavery

Description
Book Introduction
Hayek called the socialist planned economy the 'road to serfdom.'

It is considered a classic that should be read by anyone who wants to think about individual freedom and government authority.
※ Revised Edition Information - The 2018 translation of 『The Road to Slavery』 was revised and published in 2024 to reflect the changing times, with difficult Chinese character expressions and translated phrases revised.

Into the book
Those who are eager to destroy the market order are, consciously or unconsciously, helping to create the command order.
Under this new order of things, some workers will probably eat better, and all workers will wear the same clothes.
But it is doubtful whether the majority of British workers will be grateful to their intellectual leaders for proposing a socialist doctrine that will ultimately endanger their personal freedom.
Freedom can only be obtained by paying a price.
As individuals, we must be prepared to make significant material sacrifices to preserve our freedom.
We must learn to face this truth honestly once again.
This is the really important essential thing.
