Mitch Daniels on Hayek

The governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels, talks about F.A. Hayek's Road to Serfdom and other books in an interview with the Web site Fivebooks.com. On Road to Serfdom: "Hayek, when I thumb back through it and look at what I marked when I first read it, was the book that, to me, convincingly demonstrated what was already intuitive: namely, the utter futility, the illusion of government planning as a mechanism for uplifting those less fortunate."
