Ray A edited the first sentence of The Road to Serfdom Fiftieth Anniversary Edition Sunday, November 1 2009.
- Contemporary events differ from history in that we do not know the results they will produe. Looking back, we can assess the significance of past occurrances and trace the consequences they have brought in their train. But while history runs its course, it is not history to us. It leads us into an unknown land, and but rarely can we get a glimpse of what lies ahead. It would be different if it were given to us to live a second time through the same events with all the knowledge of what we have seen before. How different wuld things appear t us; how important, and often alarming would changes seem that we now scarcely notice! It is probably fortunate that man can never have this experience and knows of no laws which history must obey.

Shelfari edited the description of The Road to Serfdom Fiftieth Anniversary Edition Saturday, August 1 2009.
- This classic by one of the 20th century's leading libertarian thinkers has established itself beside the works of Orwell and others as a timeless meditation on the relationship between human freedom and government authority. Hayek argues that empowering government with increasing economic control leads not to utopia but to horrors such those seen in Nazi Germany.
