Daniel Hannan's new book, The New Road to Serftdom: A Letter of Warning to America, urges Americans not to take such things as federalism, the rule of law and limited government for granted. He believes the United States could find itself lurching toward European-style socialism even more quickly. He spoke at the Cato Institute September 29, 2010.

  • The smartest man in Europe? I think so!

    Nothing against Europeans/Europe but Socialism is an idealistic, backwards ideology that fails with time. And if Capitalism is so bad, then why is that when former COMMUNIST nations like Poland and Estonia experienced economic growth when they switched to capitalism? The nations with the best economies (Japan, Singapore, South Korea) practice Laissez-Fair economics...why? I can tell you why: CAPITALISM WORKS

  • You sir are a good man. Continue spreading the truth, and may God Bless you.

  • @gazz12345a What "values" are you talking about? You mean like socialism? Communism? Fascism? The so-called Enlightenment was hardly enlightened, but represented a divergence of thought that would result both in the American Revolution which is a continuance of Judeo-Christian values, and the French Revolution, which tried hard to abandon everything Christian and religious and replace it with a religion of the State.

  • @gazz12345a Everything. It promotes subjective morality, which is no morality, and promotes the baser aspects of man.

  • @MaxxTheMerciless No it was not. Western Democracies were built on the values of the enlightenment - in opposition to the superstition, intolerance and despotism of the church.

  • @MaxxTheMerciless What's evil about atheism?

  • @ajsaccount1991 Japans economy has been stagnant or falling for 20 years. But i generally agree with you.

  • @deke76 nice comment. totally agree, it's not enough to have a consitution it's gotta be enforced.

  • @TheCompleteGuitarist A piece of paper cannot enforce itself. What isn't working is socialist policies, and the elites that inflict them on the people in order to concentrate power. The Founders would have already been shooting by now.

  • "if government becomes remote, cut of from the people it purports to speak for, concentrated in the hands of an elite, then inevitably, that elite will become self serving"

    Irony at it's best, I think 'English' humour may be a little too subtle for the American audience, because this is clearly a reference to recent American Presidential Administrations and the state of it's bureaucracy .

  • "Will invite the public agent to corruption, plunder and waste."

    If that is what Jefferson said the constitution of the United States was designed to avoid, then it clearly isn't working.
