FAQ About Friedrich Hayek
What is the central theme of Hayek's book 'The Road to Serfdom'?
The central theme of Hayek's The Road to Serfdom is the danger of central planning and government control over economic life, which, according to Hayek, leads to repression and loss of individual freedom. He argues that economic control inevitably extends to all areas of life, thus leading societies towards totalitarian rule, as experienced in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia during his time.
