“Totalitarianism is neither a consequence of ‘corruption’ nor ‘historical accident’, but rather a logical consequence of institutional incentives of the attempts to centrally plan an economy”. In The Road to Serfdom, Hayek seeks to convince the British people that socialism can lead their country to the end of Fascism, which is not a particular product of the wicked Germany. Without using mathematical economic model, Hayek consciously delineates the intuitive proceedings from ‘good economic…
