[6/12/10] Friedrich Hayek's Hot Best Seller

A friend pointed out to me Thursday that Friedrich Hayek's Road to Serfdom was currently #1 in book sales on Amazon.com.  I didn't believe it, so I promptly pulled out my Palm Pre, went to the site, and checked.  It is true!

There is one reason it is so.  Glen Beck had at least one show discussing the book, comparing Stalin and Hitler's socialisms, and telling told people to go to Amazon.com and order Hayek's book.  What a rabble rouser!

It's amazing -- and wonderful -- that so many people have paid attention.
