An unimpeachable classic work in political philosophy, intellectual and cultural history and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians, scholars, and general readers for half a century. This book was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production.
"In my opinion it is a grand book. . . . Morally and philosophically I find myself in agreement with virtually the whole of it: and not only in agreement with it, but in deeply moved agreement."
— John Maynard Keynes
"A version of a recognized classic text that provides a full and rich context from which to understand its emergence and eventual powerful impact on the course of events and ideas in the twentieth century. . . . The University of Chicago Press and Bruce Caldwell have done an excellent job in dressing up this classic book for both the general reader and scholars in a variety of disciplines and the hiostory of ideas."
— Steven Horwitz, EH.Net
"It takes courage, or something like it, to declare one's offering 'The Definitive Edition'. . . . I have no hesitation, though in describing this as an excellent edition."
— Roger Kimball, New Criterion
