Ludwig von Mises on The Road to Serfdom:
“Hayek showed that all those features of the Nazi economic system that appeared as reprehensible in the eyes of the British and, for that matter, of their Western allies, were precisely the necessary outcome of policies which the ‘left’—the self-styled Progressives, the planners, the socialists and, in the U.S., the New Dealers—were aiming at.”
“While fighting totalitarianism, the British and their allies waxed enthusiastic over plans for transforming their own countries into totalitarian outfits and were proceeding farther and farther on this road to serfdom.”
