Hayek: The Back Story

"George Orwell . . . conceded that Hayek 'is probably right' about the 'totalitarian-minded' nature of intellectuals but concluded that he[Hayek] 'does not see, or will not admit, that a return to `free` competition means for the great mass of people a tyranny probably worse . . . than that of the state'. "
"How relevant is the book to Glenn Beck’s America? In his 1960 essay 'Why I Am Not a Conservative,' Hayek observed, 'Conservatism may often be a useful practical maxim, but it does not give us any guiding principles which can influence long-range developments'.”
