I really should read that, but I am afraid we are living it.

If you haven’t read this book, you need to. Hayek provided the intellectual framework for the Reagan/Thatcher renaissance. You will never lose another argument with liberal if you read this book - it is an intellectual tour de force and provides an analytical, well reasoned explanation for why socialism simply can never work.

Buy it today and read it 10 times.

Glenn Beck should start a book club, like Oprah Winphrey did.

Good song. So many people just can’t wait to get on that road again. They are making music with their friends the democrats, and we are definitely on that road again.

Their music is killing America. I might add Willie is one of them, Dope smoking pal of Bill Clinton.

So it’s Glenn Beck’s fault that there’s a wait-list on “Road to Serfdom” at the library. Oh, well, my number will come up eventually.

I believe it!!! When Beck brought up this book on his show I signed onto Amazon to buy a used copy of the book and each one I picked was ALREADY BOUGHT! That was because Glenn Beck just came on and was talking about it and the books were being bought live right there as he was talking!

“Adding The Road to Serfdom on my reading list.”

LOL you might have to wait.

I just saw on instapundit that U of Chicago is SOLD OUT, they sold 13000 copies in ONE day after Beck mentioned it.

Another goodie is “The Abolition of Man” by CS Lewis, every one should read that book. And it is very, very short.

Read it in 1974, followed by "Free to Choose" by Milton & Rose Friedman.

Changed my outlook and my life.

Frederick von Hayek was an “obscure economist” according to this journo.

Who has more book selling clout lately? Glenn or Oprah?

For all my FReeper FRiends, FRee- http://gutenberg.net.au/plusfifty-a-m.html#letterL

“It Can’t Happen Here” by Sinclair Lewis- actually all of his books. Just select the titles. From Gutenburg Australia.
