Yesterday, March 23 was the 12th anniversary of Friederich A. Hayek passing away. Hayek was an influential figure on the Free Market movement that wrote Road to Serfdom in 1944. The book was reproduced in Readers Digest condensed book section (first and only time to appear at the front of the magazine and not at the back as usual), and featured as cartoons also. Recently there was a celebration for the 60th anniversary of Road to Serfdom . My Dad wrote yesterday some recolections about his meeting with Hayek at a Mont Pelerin Society meeting in Berlin. Dad was the first ecuadorian member of that organization in 1981.
