Let’s polish things up
It’s probably fitting that I’ve started to read The Road to Serfdom. First, there’s a hue and cry (and riots, let’s not forget) over a Japanese history textbook, and a deafening silence from the Chinese about their education system’s interpretation of history. Now, Russia has pulled a textbook that examines dark chapters in its past (and provides critiques of Stalin and Putin) and replaced it with one that is better for “a feeling of pride for one’s history and one’s country.”

Yes! Hayek!
Er, made it past the 1994 preface, 1971 preface, 1956 preface (don’t quote me, I may have got the years wrong), and I think I’ve reached the introduction. So it remains to be seen if I finish the book.
