Hayek and Friedman

Hayek, an Austrian economist, warns against the rise of socialism and its potential to lead Western democracies toward totalitarianism. His influential work, "The Road to Serfdom," advocates for a competitive order that balances state intervention with free markets. Despite his regrets about not effectively countering Keynes, he lays the groundwork for future thinkers like Friedman to challenge prevailing economic ideas.
