Quote of the Day : 'The road to serfdom – Cartoon 10' by Friedrich Hayek

The “strong man” is given power.

In desperation, “planners” authorize the new party leader to hammer out a plan and force its obedience. 

Later, they'll dispense with him, or so they think.

< The road to serfdom – Cartoon 10 >

In this 10th cartoon of "The Road to Serfdom," a "strong man" gains power. In desperation, "planners" authorize the new party leader to devise a plan and enforce its obedience. However, they intend to dispose of him later, or so they think. This episode illustrates how the desire for power can threaten freedom and emphasizes the need for vigilance in preserving freedom. Attempts by the "strong man" or "planners" to abuse power or undermine freedom can ultimately threaten democracy and individual liberty. Derived from Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom," the concept warns of the gradual transition towards totalitarianism as power becomes concentrated and freedom is restricted.

Friedrich Hayek was a renowned Austrian-British economist and philosopher, known for his work on classical liberalism and free-market capitalism. He is  where he warned against the dangers of central planning and totalitarianism, arguing for the importance of individual freedom and limited government intervention in economic affairs.
