We saw in Part 1 that the mechanism of socialism is primarily central control of all economic activity (and what activity may not be described in economic terms?). It is the mechanism of socialism, not the desire for social justice, that those who believe in the inherent freedom of the individual object. The central planner may plan well, plan poorly, or plan corruptly.

Hayek's third chapter is one of definition - making sure that we are all thinking the same thing when we use certain words.
Socialism may mean, and is often used to describe, merely the ideals of social justice, greater equality, and security, which are the aims of socialism. But it means also the particular method by which most socialists hope to attain these ends and Mark W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/11458273469387519600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3285075759480232118.post-29740391719640828272010-02-13T13:20:00.000-08:002010-02-23T22:23:41.360-08:00Hayek - The Great Utopia - Meaning of Freedom DistortedMonrovians - Unite! Hayek's second chapter is entitled The Great Utopia.

In the first chapter of The Road to Serfdom, F.A. Hayek discusses the history of freedom and the celebration of the individual - a road he believes Western civilization, and particularly the socialists, have abandoned. Hayek is a recipient of the Presidential Medical of Freedom, was a pioneer in monetary theory, and co-winner of the Nobel Memorial Price in Economics.

After reading Book II of Paradise Lost, I begin to understand why this poem is so popular.
