By far, Hayek's most famous book is ''[[The Road To Serfdom]]'' (1944). In it, he discusses the collapse of essential freedoms in the face of economic manipulation at the hands of well-meaning government actors.  Written in Cambridge, UK from 1940 onwards, the book was intended mainly to warn a British audience of the dangers of socialism - a warning they sadly ignored by electing Labour's Clement Attlee to the premiership in the first post-war election in 1945 with, in time, catastrophic consequences for the British economy.  The book faired much better in the US, becoming a runaway success after a condensed edition appeared in the Reader's Digest. John R. Searle chose ''Road to Serfdom'' as his book of the century, citing its very great influence on popular American post-war thought.
