The Courage of Friedrich Hayek

By William F. Buckley Jr.

As we look back on the excitement caused by the publication of Friedrich Hayek’s Road to Serfdom, we wonder how it could have happened. It is a tribute to him, and to his small book, that we should be able to say this. The principal theses of the book are by now so very well known, even if they are not by any means universally accepted, that they appear almost self-evident.

Thanks for the recommendation; I’ll have to acquire Buckley’s book.

I suppose the principle theses of RTS are well known by now by many of us, OTOH, even the majority here on FR don’t seem that well versed or accepting of them. I have no doubt also that as a nation we continue to move leftward.

I agree about them being self evident, though.

Reagan and Thatcher were followers of Hayek, interestingly, and as you probably already know.

Thanks for the original post, btw.
