The Road to Serfdom

Alan Ebenstein

Chapter 9 in Hayek’s Journey, 2003, pp 117-126 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In his autobiographical notes, which he began to write after the success of The Road to Serfdom, Hayek said that the “light burden of teaching (there were very few students) and the short distances at Cambridge gave me more time for my own work than I ever had before.” His best-known work was his response to World War II and the rise of totalitarian, militarily aggressive dictatorships. The Road to Serfdom was an advance, popular sketch of the intended second part of the larger “The Abuse and Decline of Reason” to be titled “The Nemesis of the planned society.” Hayek worked on The Road to Serfdom intensely during 1941 and 1942. In particular, he spent more time writing its early chapters than anything else he ever wrote.
