How can he know a book is dreadful if he hasn't read it. But, maybe I didn't hear him correctly.

@PatzerKing That was the point of the anecdote. To point out how people critisise and praise the book without having read it. Or at the very least understood it.

the audio quality is horrible, and hayak has an accent that makes it tough to understand what he is saying, i think adding subtitles to this video would be an excellent idea, if you have the original footage and have the ability to add subtitles please consider doing it

[Malthus0]

@mattgeb84 Subtitles ready.

I used to laugh at Hayek, now I realize the man was a genius. I finding myself liking him more and more.

@Malthus0 ty for subtitiles

[vividserenity]

ugh the audio on this is horrible, you can barely understand what they are saying

[batman93oo]

@austenbosten Same thing with me man. I use to laugh at Hayek and other libertarians similar to him but now I've grown to admire Hayek in particular.

Youtube was made for these videos - what a gift!

I think life is pretty simple. Socialism in its extreme form can't work. Just like free market capitalism can't work in its extreme form. What people really want is a good life with the motivation to go to work. Doing it just for profit or for squat isn't motivating.

[greatrighthope]

@Malthus0 That is precisely the point of his comment. I watched it twice and I could understand him quite well but the audio isn't the best I have ever heard. Howevver it is amazing to hear this great man and his remarkable ideas in any event.
