<br/><br/> "A center of acute controversy when originally published in 1944, the reasoned views expressed in this book should not be obscured in the fog of polemic laid down by zealous partisans and opponents of the author's viewpoint. Mr. Hayek holds that the extended collectivism toward which free nations are gradually moving is incompatible with democracy, that social planning, as interpreted today, may eventually destroy all individual freedom, political no less than economic." -- From the back cover.
