(HAYEK, Friedrich August von.) The Road to Serfdom.
First Edition. 8vo. viii, 184 pp. Publisher’s black cloth, spine lettered in gilt, Bookseller's label to front free endpaper. Published by George Routledge & Sons (London), 1944.
Paper repair using Japanese tissue paper to the lower margins of pp. 19-26 by the George Bayntun Restoration Team, a little wear to the spine, corners a touch bumped. A very good copy.
Hayek's classic polemic against centralization and collectivism, among the most influential and popular expositions of classical liberalism and libertarianism, was far and away the most eloquent and straightforward statement of his political and economic outlook that Hayek ever achieved (ODNB). Though in the short term the book failed to halt the rapid extension of government power into economic life, over the next few decades the book inspired countless proponents of economic liberty, became a foundation of the revival of liberal economics, and was adopted as a guiding text in the Thatcher and Reagan projects.
