格伦·贝克让哈耶克流行
格伦·贝克自己的新书The Overton Window 上了亚马逊排行榜的榜首。
而格伦·贝克大力推荐的哈耶克的《通向奴役之路》忽然之间也是登上了亚马逊排行榜前十，并保持了好几周。我一直很奇怪是什么事情让哈耶克在美国流行起来，原来是格伦·贝克的推荐。原来我一直猜测是到了哈耶克的纪念日之类的事情。
这个现象也引起《纽约时报》的关注：The economist was Friedrich von Hayek, the book was “The Road to Serfdom” and the host was Glenn Beck, who compared Hayek’s book to “a Mike Tyson (in his prime) right hook to socialism in Western Europe and in the United States.” As it happens, “The Road to Serfdom” — a classic attack on government planning as an inevitable step toward totalitarianism, published in 1944 and kept in print since then by the University of Chicago Press — had already begun a comeback of sorts. It sold 27,000 copies in 2009, up from about 7,000 a year before the inauguration of Barack Obama. But Beck’s endorsement catapulted the book to No. 1 at Amazon.com, bringing a temporary end to at least one tyranny, that of Stieg Larsson. Since the program was broadcast on June 8, 100,000 copies have been sold.
