About this ebook

A prominent British conservative warns Americans to stop President Obama from leading their country down the path to European-style socialism.

In March 2009, British conservative Daniel Hannan became a celebrity overnight when he assailed prime minister Gordon Brown on the floor of the European Parliament. The YouTube clip went viral, leading to whirlwind appearances on FOX News and other conservative media outlets. A thoughtful and articulate spokesman for conservative ideas, Hannan is better versed in America's traditions and founding documents than many Americans are. In The New Road to Serfdom, Hannan argues forcefully and passionately that Americans must not allow Barack Obama to take them down the road to European Union–style social democracy. He pleads with Americans not to abandon the founding principles that have made their country a beacon of liberty for the rest of the world.

More of a political theory book than anything. But very readable. I was expecting one of those books you buy because you feel really strongly about the topic at the time and it's on Fox News, then you never actually read it because it was written in a rush. Not that at all. Very civil, reasoned, and clear-headed. Mostly about why the division and decentralization of government power is good.

We need more people like Hannan who look out for us in this dire time of need, I challenge everyone who reads this review to try to read this book and be even more patriotic than before.

Not even a shadow of the greatness of Hayek's work is present in this.
