Road to reaction

the long version

Herman Finer makes the classic response in this book to those who would argue that individual freedom is endangered by trends toward a planned society. Professor Finer's bold statemant is a reassertion of his confidence in man's ability to shape his own destiny in a society. This book is a lucid response to Friedrich Hayek's The Road to Serfdom and Hayek's opposition to social planning. Professor Finer examines and dissects Hayek's thesis and exposes his fallacies. Finer attacks his subject with logic and wit, exposing error and hidden agendas. Finer had world recognition in his field. This is a worthwhile read for those interested in political science and economics.
