    'Planning and Totalitarianism' | Revisiting The Road to Serfdom: Chapter 7 (Part 2)

    Here is Part 2 of Kevin and my 6th discussion over F.A. Hayek's 'The Road to Serfdom.' This video covers the second half of our discussion on Chapter 7: Planning and Totalitarianism. In this chapter, Hayek really begins to unpack the trajectory of Planning, hence the title. Here, Hayek expands on one way Planners begin to take over the whole of society, by seeking total control of one seemingly insignificant aspect of life- economics. Once planners are able to assert control over the means of production, they effectively gain control over *all* aspects of society, by determining the importance of every profession, product, and laborer, as they all are not filtered through the desires and goals of the Planner, rather than the individual citizen. This book is not only free on Audible for those with a subscription, but a PDF of the original version is available for free online, so please check those out if you get a chance. https://ctheory.sitehost.iu.edu/img/H...

    'Planning and The Rule of Law' | Revisiting The Road to Serfdom: Chapter 6 (Part 2)

    Here is Part 2 of @Eng_Politics and my 5th discussion over F.A. Hayek's 'The Road to Serfdom.' This video covers the first half of our discussion on Chapter 6: Planning and the Rule of Law. In this chapter, Hayek explains the 'Rule of Law' is one of the only bulwarks against totalitarianism, as it relies on objectivity and a broad understanding of societal rules. 'Planning' cannot coexist with objectivity, and therefore must abolish the Rule of Law. Hayek's prescience is once again demonstrated as he lays out the necessity of intentional discrimination in the Planner's misguided pursuit of a truly equal society. Hayek also discusses the fact that freedom leads to income inequality, but that the alternative is to use coercion to remove people's freedom, and create an equally miserable society under authoritarian Planning.

    'Planning and Democracy' | Revisiting The Road to Serfdom: Chapter 5 (Part 2)

    Here is Part 2 of my 4th conversation with Kevin over F.A. Hayek's 'The Road to Serfdom.' In this video we finish our discussion of Chapter 5: Planning and Democracy. As Chapter 3 discussed the incompatibility between Individualism and Collectivism, Chapter 5 discusses similar incompatibilities between Planning and Democracy. Hayek lays out this argument by demonstrating how impossible it is for those seeking to Plan a society to achieve true consensus. Hayek explains the methods Planners use to circumvent the lack of public consensus for their Plan, which range from delegating their Plan to unelected bureaucrats, to vaguely defining their Plan as pursuant to "The Common Good," or "The Common Welfare." Today's equivalent might be to claim something is a "Human Right," for example. In the absence of consensus, Planners will inevitably have to resort to all manner of coercion to achieve their utopian goals, ultimately leading to Despotism.

    'The Inevitability of Planning' | Revisiting The Road to Serfdom: Chapter 4

    Here is Part 2 of Kevin and my 3rd discussion over F.A. Hayek's 'The Road to Serfdom.' In this video, we go over Chapter 4: The 'Inevitability' of Planning. In this chapter, Hayek refutes a common refrain of his time, namely that Planning was not only a desirable road for Western Democracies to go down, but that Planning was actually inevitable if the west was to survive and thrive on a global stage.

    'Individualism & Collectivism' | Revisiting The Road to Serfdom: Chapter 3

    Here is Part 1 of Kevin and my 3rd discussion over F.A. Hayek's 'The Road to Serfdom.' In this video, we go over Chapter 3: Individualism and Collectivism. In this chapter, Hayek discusses the incompatibility between the Socialist system and the Liberal system. Hayek also delves into many arguments we hear today, such as the difference between disagreeing with a *goal,* (justice, equality, etc.) and disagreeing with the *means* in which someone claims we should use to achieve this goal. As with today, most disagreements are actually centered on differences in how to best attain commonly agreed upon goals, rather than the goals themselves.

    Revisiting The Road to Serfdom: Chapter 2

    This is Chapter 2 of 'The Road to Serfdom' book review Kevin of the Engineering Politics podcast and I are producing, in order to help people understand the arguments Hayek made almost 80 years ago are even more relevant for us today. The Road to Serfdom was originally published in 1944. In it, F.A. Hayek wrote one of the most enduring and substantive oppositions to Socialism and collectivist ideology ever printed. Such an important work has gone underappreciated and underdiscussed for far too long, particularly due to its significance for our current moment Check us out on locals and twitter: https://engineeringpolitics.locals.com/ https://returntoreason.locals.com https://twitter.com/Eng_Politics https://twitter.com/mymundanemind?s=09
