I only know what I sampled on Amazon. com, but the book in question is the road to serfdom, seem anachronistic. Original Title of the book: socialism, the road to serfdom. In the 1930s, the totalitarian and despotic governments the greatest threat to personal freedom, and they are still in some parts of the world, perhaps in Africa. The fall of the Soviet empire beckoned me to the end of the nation-state era. During the last quarter century, or was so clear that in the economically developed world, the threat to freedom in the interest of business. Companies have found the easiest way to purchase power. Not a new idea, certainly, but now on a world scale, the dominant practice. Watch the level of livng of American workers, the steadily since the Reagan years. America wake up and dropped the world to the threat to our business, after Wall Street-induced depression and the recent oil spill, but. . . . ? Hayek’s thinking had changed since its introduction in 1976, and Glenn Beck (I saw this tome excited yesterday) and its nature is a great distraction. Anti-Socialism, anti-fascism, anti-big government, etc. are all red herring, but profitable grist for talk shows. I invite you to respond thoughtfully. Rating: 5.1

Hayek is bent to philosophical justification for the retention of a life of privilege and wealth of many built on the backs, blood, sweat and tears of the majority. Even James Madison, where he worked to perpetuate the Constitution of the United States and the protection of property of the minority “haves” of the democratic will of the majority. The only check and balance included Madison in the Constitution of the United States was to stifle a triple veto power in the hands of the rich fair race called by a majority of population.Vers américaineExposition one revolution of the Constitution and other illusionsChapitre 3 Jerry FresiaLa Constitution: the resurrection of a imperial system [. . . ] The so-called “free market” known with luggage, other than fascism.

It is high time that the wage slaves of the control of the other, the rich, who say “their” money entitles them as “employers to decide who eats and eats free. It is human time can the basic rights of all other animals are – free access to the riches of nature, the restoration of the house communes.Benjamin Franklin, perhaps the most intellectual and capable of all states U.S. “founding fathers realized the true source of wealth:” Superfluous Property is the creature of society. Simple and mild laws were sufficient to protect the property that was just necessary. Bow of the Wild, his ax and his coat of skin, were adequately secured by law without the fear of personal resentment and retaliation. If in the first part of the Law Society of accumulated wealth and grew powerful, they have other more serious and would be adopted to protect their property at the expense of humanity. It is abuse their powers, and from a tyranny. If a Savage before he had been registered in the society, said your neighbor in this way could become the owner of 100 Deer, but if your brother or your son, or sell itself without Deer, and hunger must have one of them, a notorious death kill must be the result, it would probably prefer ‘d kill his freedom and his wife all right to Deer, the full benefits of society, it could be proposed. “Franklin has established a tyrannical police state was inextricably linked the accumulation and retention of disparate measures of wealth, while candidly admit this “unjust deserts” were the product of the whole society, not individuals who eagerly loudmouthed the lie that they deserve. Franklin further stated :”… So married the accumulation of assets within a given society and the security for the people in any society must be an effect of the protection afforded by the joint force of society in the execution of its laws so private property is a bot creature of society and the application should be subject to the company, if appropriate to its needs, to suck his services to the public demand therefore not be regarded as a benefit to the public is entitled contributors distinctions of honor and power, but as the return of an obligation already is received or the fair payment of a debt. “Thus, while the return of such unearned wealth to its rightful owner, the working class, the redistribution is not charity. It is actually the return of the property of their respective owners. Franklin was stolen Note that the wealth of the rich, as “unjust deserts may be required for the common good to the last penny, the last dollar.Il reason the IRS classifies capital gains as” unearned income “- they are unjust deserts ! Most of the differences in the distribution of wealth comes from productivity made legalized theft by the complete privatization of “intellectual property”, a system of copyrights and patents possible, which is now presented in no relation to the promotion of science for the common good of Some of the founding fathers and the Constitution enshrined. Originally, the Company is expected to give that and the protection of a monopoly marketing short of an author, artist, inventor or creator, in return for possible inclusion in the public sector, adopted at the behest of Disney Corp. of Congress of the famous Mickey Mouse Protection Act, which prevents such creations as “Steanboat Willie” / “Mickey Mouse” To be in the public domain talented, as called for in the Constitution, at any reasonable time, time course, extending the copyright monopoly for 28 years of “life plus 70 years. who recently gave birth to the proposed draconian Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 and the” Secret “Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement currently stands, the children of criminals, which of course but together choses.Là Franklin would not make the Fray entered. As one of the most prolific inventors of his time, Franklin scorned the notion of ownership of ideas. the fact he brought both the first lending library in America and Pennsylvania Civil Service fire exposed first socialist / communist bent eh? If he was a famous patent on the stove, which has since borne his name, offered to put Franklin in the design of public space as it has with all his other inventions, and declined to offer other patents to obtain for him. He clearly stated in his autobiography, his preference in the question: “How can we enjoy great advantages from inventions of others, we should be happy to serve an opportunity to others could be covered by an invention of us, and we do freely and generously.” Thomas Jefferson also spoke of how the privatization of the House of Commons and the establishment of coercive, authoritarian governments to protect these collections unfair real estate to the detriment was the happiness and freedom of man, he recognized the company replacement: “I am convinced that these companies (as the Indians) which live without government in their general mass an infinitely greater degree of happiness than to enjoy, to live under European governments. Among the former, public opinion in the place of law and morality holds as much as laws ever had anywhere. “” that on the principle of community of property, small businesses (again, as the Indians) can in the habits of virtue, order, industry exists, and peace, and hence in a state of good luck as the sky had the pleasure of dealing with imperfect humanity, I understand, in various small companies that have been made on this principle demonstrated. But after this award to the wonderful life glowing for those who choose one and you may live in small communities , the sharing of limited liability, Jefferson continued: “But I’m not allowed, conclude that society as a whole, such as the United States or regulated in a certain condition, fortunately, was on the same principle. “Well, maybe the lesson! This is fortunately not of states and empires issued, but rather to preserve the small autonomous public bodies! This utopia or nirvana comes from an egalitarian existence, a notion foreign to the typical European thought and culture . Said Sitting Bull: “The white man knows everything, but he does not know how to distribute it.” sharing goodness of the earth is natural and necessary, if happiness is to prevail. On his arrival, Columbus turned the anti-European Americans (Indian): “[The Indians] so free with all they have, believe no one without seeing. From what they have, if you ask, you never say no, but they invite to share the person and show how much love as she gave her heart. “So, as the natural wealth and beauty, just like Columbus responded eagerly, the European culture authoritarian it is enabled:” These people are highly skilled in arms … With 50 men they could all be subjected and made to do what we wanted. “A few decades later, that this so-called” Christians have occupied part of North America by the English and covered Soto sent promising openings for a better life in submission to their king and church, a spokeswoman for the astute Indian replied: “I’ve learned that you long ago European Christians [] are the others of you who came years my country, and I already know exactly what your habits and behaviors are similar. For me you are professional thieves who wander from place to place , see steal loot save your life, and kill people, you have given no offense. *** I these men as vile and despicable, even under the yoke of someone else if they live as free people. Therefore I and all my people vowed to die a hundred men, to obtain the freedom of our country.

Economy in a changing universe: Joseph E. Stiglitz, Globalization and the Death of Free EnterpriseJe went through two more readings of the manuscript Hayek.La best way to remember him today, and probably his only major quake death is that William was F. Buckley Favorites economic theorists. Schedule D my latest book, “the economy in a changing world”, the relevance of Hayek shows today, in the past, and always. None of his claims no programmatic strength in light of the work of Stiglitz and other information in the economy, to refute completely all the economic principles of Hayek, but the Viennese school was already shaky and weak, even before 1986, when the publication of the Green Forest and Stiglitz article, which completely destroyed his thesis market. Hayek’s work is a historical relic, nothing more, and most of us concerned with the contemporary political economy, probably have little time for it. We all know and accept, (except perhaps for the extreme right), for example, that Hitler and Stalin were evil. Rating: 5.1
