Adding The Road to Serfdom on my reading list.

[Travis McGee]

A plug by Beck will turn an old book into a best seller.

His new novel (out next week) would sell a million copies even if it had blank pages.

That man has a powerful microphone.

So when will Amazon make Glenn their salesman of the year?

I picked up a copy at a garage sale that I think was printed in 1944. LOL

I would add Timothy Dwights 1798 sermon "The Duty of Americans at the Present Crisis" to the “essential library” list. Don't be put off by the first few opening paragraphs which are inside 18th century theology. Dwight gets into Voltaire, the Illuminati and a most instructive lesson at the end: the story of the "miserable inhabitants of Neuwied, Germany".

More Than 50-year-old Book Is Bestseller on Amazon (The Road to Serfdom)

“It’s Glenn Beck’s fault”
His show on “The Road To Serfdom” on Wednesday was good...I just wish
he’d had Thomas Sowell on.
His article on Hayek and his book in (IIRC) Forbes Magazine in the
early 1990s sure woke me up to the power of the book.

Illustrated “The Road to Serfdom”

[ChiMark]

Hayek, Friedman the U of Chicago school, Von Mises were introduced in a macro econ class taught by an Iranian dissident. Excellent teacher.

I learned about free market econ from a person who
aspired to be an American not from the entrenched tenured
professors.

Another great Hayek read is ‘The Constitution of Liberty’.

See if you can get this book at the library.

FYI, you can get April The Reader’s Digest condensed version of The Road to Serfdom from April 1945 here. Share and enjoy.

Ah, I see someone already mentioned that in the replies.
