[Harvey] writes that 'it is the withering critical sense that makes it possible to convince people that (for instance) they will be free only if they relinquish their freedoms—relinquish them and replace them with a system of all-around bureaucratic regimentation.' He is right. People imagine a regime in which all means are owned by the state, where the government is the sole employer, as a realm of freedom. What such people almost never take into account, however, is the possibility that in their dream system, the Almighty God of Government could aim at ends of which they themselves disapprove. Don’t let the fun cover of this book fool you: the writing is profound and powerful.
