The Road to Serfdom Audiobook

" Good, but a heavy read. "

" Very good book. Easy to read, moves quick and will scare you with how similar some passages are to today's world, even though he is writing about Hitler. This is a good economic overview of the time. I recommend it to all. "

" A very interesting book that shows how easily we can lose our freedoms. "

" A certain degree of survivorship bias makes sure this would get good reviews because you wouldn't have had the energy to dig it up and read it (Hayek's English is not that easy to understand) unless you were really into Austrian economics. "

" This ought to be standard reading in highscool history. The vantage point of the author of having escaped Nazi rule only to watch the mindset of socialist utopians take hold in the west is fascinating. It is a clear example of how those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it and is, unfortunately, prophetic of our current political environment. "

" Almost done reading this for the first time, I'll have to give it a rest when I'm done and then read it again. It is still very relevant and interesting, but takes a little digestion. "

" Exceptional, not a fluffy quick read, takes thought and requires an engaged reader but the substance delivers a verdict that is beyond contradiction. As relevant as ever and ignored at the peril of a society of free men. "

" The best book on economics and public policy I've ever read. If you read one book on these subjects, read Hayek's masterpiece. "

" Should be required reading to understand economics. "

" This is tough going in some parts - so so inspired and so relevant to today that it's worth sticking with. It's also a classic in the field of libertarian thought and economics so if you call yourself a lover of freedom, especially economic freedom, this is must reading. "

" Not what I thought it was, nothing new; probably good to know that that's what the book has in it; only read it because a columnist said it was a standard. "

" Relevant and brilliant, we should think about this. "

" A hard read that will piss you off. Very important. The truth of this book is so great. "

" Great book of political philosophy. Would recommend for all. And here is the spoiler: Hayek is not nearly as conservative (e.g. The Randians) as most people presume based upon who tends to quote him. He is a true Liberal "

" A classic ... Very timely as well "

" Great, powerful book and a great book on Libertarianism, but fortunately it didn't come true. "

" Can't really comment. It's supposedly a classic of sorts, but was written years ago, and I couldn't stay awake nor focused, and finally gave up. "

" Overall, it's a good book. It's an interesting study of Socialism that is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago. It's heavy on political philosophy, so, if you're not into that, you'll likely not like the book. However, it is an interesting read for us Poli-Sci junkies. "

" Good description and explanation of the consequences of a central authority. An examination of most common forms of government, and why they exist (purpose). "

" This book makes you think about the nature of your political parties, what freedom actually means, and how to avoid a creeping tyranny in the name of your brother man. "
