    (256)

    Originally published in 1944, The Road to Serfdom has profoundly influenced many of the world's great leaders, from Orwell and Churchill in the mid-'40s, to Reagan and Thatcher in the '80s. The book offers persuasive warnings against the dangers of central planning, along with what Orwell described as "an eloquent defense of laissez-faire capitalism".

    Scott says: "Classic"
    "Good Book - Narration a bit monotonous"

    Story

    Hayek does a very good job of describing and predicting how America went from an individualistic, capitalist nation to socialism. He describes how the switch is made in the name of fairness and security.

    For the past 30 years, David Mamet has been a controversial and defining force in theater and film, championing the most cherished liberal values along the way. In some of the great movies and plays of our time, his characters have explored the ethics of the business world, embodied the struggles of the oppressed, and faced the flaws of the capitalist system. But in recent years Mamet has had a change of heart.

    Mr. Mamets book takes you inside the mind of a Democrat and gives some valuable insight on what they believe and why. Definately worth the time
