The Road to Serfdom remains one of the all-time classics of twentieth-century intellectual thought. For over half a century, it has inspired politicians and thinkers around the world, and has had a crucial impact on our political and cultural history. With trademark brilliance, Hayek argues convincingly that, while socialist ideals may be tempting, they cannot be accomplished except by means that few would approve of. Addressing economics, fascism, history, socialism and the Holocaust, Hayek unwraps the trappings of socialist ideology. He reveals to the world that little can result from such ideas except oppression and tyranny. Today, more than fifty years on, Hayek s warnings are just as valid as when The Road to Serfdom was first published.

„Zvláštním úkolem ekonomie je lidem předvést, jak málo ve skutečnosti vědí o tom, co považují za vědomě zkonstruovatelné.“Nositel Nobelovy ceny za ekonomii a prorok liberalismu sepsal v roce 1988 jedno ze svých zásadních děl. V něm uvádí hlavní argumenty pro ekonomickou svobodu a volný trh a předkládá svůj manifest o chybách socialismu.Hayek tvrdí, že socialismus se od svých počátků mýlil ve faktických, a dokonce i logických základech. Opakovaná selhání v mnoha různých praktických aplikacích socialistických myšlenek, kterých bylo 20. století svědkem, byla přímým důsledkem těchto chyb.Za osudnou domýšlivost označuje Hayek představu, že „člověk je schopen utvářet okolní svět podle svých přání“.

Bracingly original... Hayekâ ™s Bastards demonstrates how a history of ideas can be riveting. Slobodian grounds intellectual abstractions in the lives of the people who espoused them... His book offers an illuminating history to our current bewildering moment, as right-wing populists join forces with billionaire oligarchs to take a chain saw to the foundations of public life, until thereâ ™s nothing left to stand on - Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times A revelatory exploration of how todayâ ™s rightwing authoritarianism emerged not in opposition to neoliberalism, but from within itAfter the end of the Cold War, neoliberalism, with its belief in the virtues of markets and competition, seemed to have triumphed. Communism had been defeated â “ and Friedrich Hayek, the spiritual father of neoliberal economics, had just about lived to see it. But in the decades that followed, Hayekâ ™s disciples knew that they had a problem. The rise of social movements, from civil rights and feminism to environmentalism, were now proving roadblocks in the road to freedom, nurturing a culture of government dependency, public spending, political correctness and special pleading. Neoliberals needed an antidote.In this illuminating new book, historian Quinn Slobodian reveals how, from the 1990s onwards, neoliberal thinkers turned to nature, in an attempt to roll back social changes and to return to a hierarchy of gender, race and cultural difference. He explores how these thinkers drew on the language of science, from cognitive psychology to genetics, in order to embed the idea of â ˜competitionâ ™ ever deeper into social life, and to advocate cultural homogeneity as essential for markets to truly work. Reading and misreading the writings of their sages, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises, they forged the alliances with racial psychologists, neoconfederates, ethnonationalists that would become known as the alt-right. Hayekâ ™s Bastards shows that many contemporary iterations of the Far Right, from Javier Milei to Donald Trump, emerged not in opposition to neoliberalism, but within it. As repellent as their politics may be, these supposed disruptors are not defectors from the neoliberal order, but its latest cheerleaders.
