Part 6/9:
In his pivotal work, "The Road to Serfdom," Hayek argued that government intervention in the economy could lead to the erosion of individual freedoms. The book gained notoriety for suggesting that even well-intentioned policies could set societies on a path toward authoritarianism. Opponents of Hayek often dismissed his warnings, believing that democratic governance could contain such risks. However, Hayek's premise continues to be validated in contemporary discussions surrounding overreach by government entities.
