This character appears in 275 books.

  1. The Road to Serfdom

    The Road to Serfdom

    by F. A. Hayek

    H. G. Wells: (1866–1946) Author of works in science and history, but best remembered as a science fiction author, Wells was also a social critic from a distinctly socialist perspective. His book "The Future in America" is mentioned by Hayek as influencing Johann Plenge (qv). Also, Wells wrote a declaration of human rights which was published in a British newspaper and later in book form. Writes Hayek, "It is pathetic but characteristic of the muddle into which many of our intellectuals have been led by the conflicting ideals in which they believe that a leading advocate of the most comprehensive central planning like H.G. Wells should at the same time write an ardent defense of the rights of man. The individual rights which Mr. Wells hopes to preserve would inevitably obstruct the planning which he desires."
