The Fatal Conceit

The Errors of Socialism (Volume 1) (The Collected Works of F. A. Hayek)

F. A. Hayek

This book delves into the "errors of socialism," providing the main arguments for the free-market case. The author argues that socialism has repeatedly failed due to mistaken beliefs about logical and factual grounds. He introduces the concept of the "fatal conceit," suggesting that the idea of shaping the world to fit our desires is a flawed assumption. Considered a pioneer in monetary theory and a prominent figure in the libertarian movement, this book is a must-read for those interested in economics and politics.
