You might think from the date of this book, 1962, that it is a dated tome, but it really isn't. The ideas presented, left and right, are still valid, even if the examples and font are antique. Basically, the author presents evidence and logic to assure the reader that state control of the economy is bad for capitalism, bad for people, and bad fore freedom. (State control includes the artificial control of labor unions, which only stifle growth, competition, and capitalism.) ( )
