A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

Beck and Serfdom

About six years ago, a wise man recommended a certain book to me and said that it would change my life.  That book was F.A. Hayek's Road to Serfdom, and it most certainly has.  It is the best explanation for why it is centrally-planned economies do not work, cannot work.

Say what you will about him, but Glenn Beck is willing to go deeper with his audience than chalk-boards and heated rhetoric.  Last week, Beck did an entire hour on the impact Road to Serfdom has had on the West since it was first published nearly 70 years ago.  Watch these clips and learn something.

Honestly, after doing an hour on my favorite book, one of the most important books of the past century, Beck could do a week of juggling on a unicycle on his show and I'd still defend him for this.
