The Road to Slavery is an economic work by Friedrich August von Hayek, a British economist and political philosopher. Here are some classic quotations:

-"Democracy gives everyone value as much as possible, while socialism just makes everyone a tool and a number."

-"We gradually gave up our freedom in economic affairs. Without this economic freedom, there would be no personal freedom and political freedom in the previous period. Although some of the greatest political thinkers in the19th century, such as De Tocqueville and Lord acton, warned us that socialism means slavery, we are still firmly moving towards socialism. Now that we have seen a new form of slavery rise before our eyes, we have completely forgotten this warning, so that we rarely think that these two things may be related. "
