A google search of "Hayek" "inevitable" and "Road to Serfdom" returns 31,000  
hits.  
  
Say only half of them are references to deterministics claims about an  
"inevitable"  
road to serfdom, attributed to Hayek.  That's still a lot of references --  
and a lot of  
authors.  I can assure you there are more of the same in the literature  
produced by  
tenured professors -- and peer reviewed in the journals.
