Devin Moore broke 'The Law' in this dystopia set in the not-too-distant future. For his crime, he is exiled from the last free colony of Goldstein, Alaska. His journey into fascist Amerika is an odyssey of chaos, delusion, and violence. Devin experiences firsthand the ravages of hyperinflation, the mind-numbing holovision, the omnipresent surveillance and the imperious nanny-state . The Land of the Free had become a serfdom where you have nothing to worry about if you are being good . But Devin could not embrace the role of gelded rebel and his exile becomes a mission of self-discovery. Pursued by the arrogant, leathery-faced Director Morgenthau and his vicious minions seeking to hotwire his brain, Devin contemplates making a mysterious Delivery that will exonerate him and allow him to return home...to GOLDSTEIN.

!1: Best Buy Goldstein had the same visceral impact as reading Vonnegut for the first time as a 15 year old; a feeling that one as jaded and cynical as myself tends to appreciate.

The tight storyline sucks you in fast, and doesn't let up for a second. The author takes the current debates about security vs. liberty, collective vs. individual and command/control vs. free market and blows them out to their entirely logical conclusions. In fact, the logic is immaculate...as is the level of detail.

In Amerika, 2068, political correctness and nanny-statism have come to the end of the line. From the rotting cityscape populated by sullen gadget-addled sheeple down to the omnipresent do-goodism enforced by bureaucratic thugs with itchy taser fingers, the oppression of Grice's progressive communitarian paradise is palpable. The protagonist, exiled from the last bastion of freedom on the planet - Goldstein - is on a mission. Only he's not exactly sure what it is. And as he navigates the equal-opportunity nastiness of what Amerika has become, he realizes that maybe the place he left behind was better than he originally thought.

A genuinely kick-ass read, Goldstein crystallizes the essence of Atlas Shrugged in a deliciously readable, lecture-free package. After reading this book, the question might not be "Who is John Galt?" but rather "Where is Goldstein and how the hell do I get there?" on Sale!

Hayek's Journey is a philosophical, intellectual exploration of Hayek's comprehensive life work. Tracing Hayek's intellectual journey from Vienna at the turn of the 20th century through London, Chicago, and Freiburg, Hayek's Journey provides a deeper understanding and exploration of Hayek's thought than previously attempted. Special attention is given to Hayek's intellectual relationships with Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises, John Maynard Keynes, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Karl Popper, and Milton Friedman. Hayek's Journey presents Hayek as an economist, political philosopher, and pure philosopher. Particular consideration is given also to development of Hayek's final work, The Fatal Conceit. In Hayek's Journey, Hayek emerges as a thinker and writer of the greatest depth and importance.

!1: Best Buy Frederich Hayek was a genius who happened upon his brilliance by both nature and nurture. He lived in an era which thought it not unusual to work in both the physical and social sciences. In Hayek's case it was most important that his first love was biology since the evolutionary underpinnings of society were fundamental to his approach to the social sciences.

He is today remembered for such classics as THE FATAL CONCEIT, THE CONSTITUTION OF LIBERTY and especially THE ROAD TO SERFDOM. He excelled in many categories and it was this fusion of various fields that made his work so unique and so vital. Starting as a scientist in the tradition of Ernest Mach, he soon began studies in economics, particularly value. From semi-Socialist leanings he became convinced of the link between economic and political freedom. This was the subtext of THE ROAD TO SERFDOM.

His argument against collectivism and central-run economies are as valid today as they were in the early part of last century. Central economies fail because 1) Society has too much knowledge to be centrally commanded (2) all economic decisions become political and thus authoritarian and noncreative and (3) there is no way to set value (price) under Socialism.

THE SENSORY ORDER dealt with epistomology, then he branched out to philosophy and politics. As an example of how Socialist we have become, Hayek's views were called ""liberal" and are now called "conservative" despite the fact that they're unchanged. He wrote one piece "WHY I AM NOT A CONSERVATIVE" which is a clarion call for libertarianism and classical liberalism.

The book examines the clashes between intellectual giants - von Mises, Popper, Mach, Wittgenstein (his cousin) and others. He was a secularist, a capitalist and a political liberal in the classical sense. His work on monetary policy still affects us (adjusting interest rates to increase or decrease the money supply, "floating" currencies externally). His influence with Western politicians and intellectual leaders was and is huge. He won the Nobel Prize for Economics in appreciation for his many contributions.

Almost as an afterward Hayek issued a brilliant statement. The aim of all economists is the increase in material wealth. He wanted this accomplished through an increase in wealth (capitalism) rather than a confiscation / redistribution of wealth (socialism / central run economies). The battle between these two points of view are with us today. on Sale!
