HAYEK, Friedrich A. (1899-1992). The Road to Serfdom. London: George Routledge & Sons Ltd., 1944.
First edition, in the scarce dust-jacket, of a landmark of 20th-century economic and political philosophy. Hayek's most important work offers a defence of market libertarianism and the system of private property, and attacks the central economic planning associated with a socialist state. He won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1974. An extraordinary revival of interest in his book occurred in 2010 when an American TV personality described it as 'a Mike Tyson (in his prime) right hook to socialism in Western Europe and in the United States' (reported in New York Times, 9 July 2010). The first owner of this work was J.E. Hartill, managing director of the Minton pottery factory at Stoke-on-Trent.
Octavo (215 x 133mm). Publisher’s black cloth, titled in gilt on spine, dust-jacket (jacket lightly toned and spotted with tiny chips to spine ends, endpapers lightly spotted); modern cloth solander box. Provenance: J.E. Hartill (flyleaf inscription dated May 1944).
