Writing in the middle of WWII, F.A. Hayek was concerned with what he was seeing: far from learning lessons from the destructive forces of fascism and communism, many politicians and intellectuals in the west were getting ready to wholeheartedly embrace some of the policies and practices that led to the rise of some of the most vile and destructive regimes in history. The title of the book evokes the old adage that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Hayek readily acknowledges that most proponents of state control of economy would be vehemently opposed to the methods that are necessary to implement those policies. Unlike many in his time and unfortunately many more today, Hayek did not see fascism and communism as polar opposites of each other, but rather two aspects of the same socialist ideology. Sometimes those that are most alike are most opposed to each other, and the communist portrayal of fascists and Nazis as right wing movement was a label that stuck to this day. Hayek perceived this to be very dangerous, not least because it would create an environment in which self-proclaimed leftist ideologues would face far less scrutiny than those on the self-proclaimed right. This is the reason why Hayek dedicated this book to "socialists of all parties."
The most remarkable thing about this book is that it has aged so well. The style of writing, the ideas presented, and the importance of what it had to say are as fresh and relevant today as they were when the book was first written. This, to me at least, is quite unsettling. It is rather sad that after all these years we still have to debate the same premises that were spelled out so clearly during one of history's worst moments.

This book is no doubt brilliant, but not omnipotent.
Confronting analyses is always more interesting and I'd recommend reading this one with K Galbraith's Affluent Society.
[[ASIN:1598530771 The Affluent Society and Other Writings, 1952-1967: American Capitalism/ The Great Crash, 1929/ The Affluent Society / The New Industrial State]
Then ask youself: true, money is a token of freedom. True, the good ideas come from individuals and money can be, on average, their objective for retribution from their efforts, a retribution they can exchange for anything they value above money. True also, a planned economy is a bit scary in that all attempts naturally led to a concentration of power in the hands of a few and eat away creativity and involvement.
But then, how to avoid some sort of restrictions or directivism in a world of finite resources approaching its limits? Money as a personal incentive and a general yardstick, and money being generated by production, poses a problem: is it going to be an ever-growing economy (no, clearly) or continued economy (but who's trying anything else than preserving or restoring growth?).
These two books/authors may not be up to date, but they contain the essence of what can help understanding our present quandary.

Il présente avec une simplicité et une évidence une réalité qui finalement m'a glacé le sang.
Vraiment un très bon livre.
