Central planning inevitably becomes undemocratic and worse, often ends up totalitarian. This results in louder calls for governments and individuals to act on their own responsibility. As the complexity of central economic planning is realised, confidence in democratic assemblies diminishes. #1: The Illusion of Democratic Socialism. Written during World War II, Hayek reflects on the patterns of socialism which led to Nazism, the illusion of democratic socialism and how early signs in other parts of the western world warned at a similar trajectory.
