I recently read “Road To Serfdom. It was written between 1940 and 1943. It should be required reading for anyone with a vote.

Absolutely. Hayek was a moral philosopher, like Adam Smith. He understood that centrally planned economies, by "redistributing wealth" could make things better for a period of time. Their most critical failure is moral, not materialistic. Socialism is evil not only because it impoverishes people, but because ultimately it reduces people to the drones of an anthill.
