2008 Hayek Essay Topic
Question:For more information see here.
In The Constitution of Liberty Hayek says that "we are probably only at the threshold of an age in which the technological possibilities of mind control are likely to grow rapidly and what may appear at first as innocuous or beneficial powers over the personality of the individual will be at the disposal of government. The greatest threats to human freedom probably still lie in the future."1
Has Hayek's gloomy warning been borne out by events, or has technology become more a force for liberating people from government?
