The book - The road to serfdom - was written by Austrian economist von Hayek. It came out in Readers Digest in 1944, just when second World War was concluding. In the article, von Hayek argues about the dangers of state planning, and how fascism and communuism are the product of grand plans the state undertakes that erodes individual liberty and leads to dictatorship.
The book was an enormous hit and I encourage every Nepali to read it, especially at a time when we are faced with the dangers of extremist forces of the left and the right.
There are some quotes from the book:
"Man does not and cannot know everything, and when he acts as if he does, disaster follows"
"What has always made the state a hell on earth has been precisely that man has tried to make it heaven"
What do you think?
