The most influential short political pamphlet of the last 100 years was Max Eastman's abridgment of Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom" which was read by millions around the world. Today 3,000 college courses list "The Communist Manifesto" as required reading, none list Eastman's RtoS.

@maxg_econ @PeterBoettke Historically your theory is false. Progressives and socialist used fraud to smear Hayek's *The Road to Serfdom* from its first publication. John Kenneth Galbraith spread those lies and smears in a widely used American Econ Association anthology. Lyings. It's what leftists do.

"The only books assigned more frequently than “The Communist Manifesto” were “The Elements of Style,” the writing guide by William Strunk and “The Republic,” by Plato."

@postdiscipline Hayek's most interdisciplinary book is *Law, Legislation, and Liberty* especially Volume 1 and the epilogue contained in Volume 3. It combines in an integrated study: philosophy of law, epistemology, ethical theory, social science, philosophy of science, and political theory.

Hayek spends page after page of *The Constitution of Liberty* debunking the fraudulent caricature of Adam Smith and his liberal economics as the crude and brain-dead straw man of rigid "laissez faire" economics.
