We have long been on the real road to serfdom, Hayek's.
(A Rand 'scholar', Steven Horwitz, has actually tried to flesh these two deep thinkers out, together....
this is kind of analogous to going to the NYT The Stone site for your philosophy education.)
Cleverer regimes have known this ideological weakness of ours for decades, and 'capitalized', so to speak, on our pathetic Hayekism.
Isn't that rather ironic.
Given America's inherent structural political fragmentation, it really has had no feasible industrial policy alternative to a more or less agressive form of laissez faire, a fact also very well known to outsiders since WWII.
