I don't have the 1994 edition of Road to Serfdom on my shelf, so cannot respond to the two page references Andrew offers. I have read the Road to Serdom, though, and I stand by my suggestion that the slippery slope argument, often attributed to Hayek by friends (Stigler, Robbins) and critics (Samuelson, Wootton) alike, is not what he actually said. I have offered my arguments in the paper Andrew cites in the European journal, and also in my editor's introduction to the new edition of The Road to Serfdom that is being published by The Collected Works. I invite those interested to read those. I concede that the Look cartoon version is perhaps consistent with Andrew's argument. I also think that the Reader's digest condensed version is. This may help us to understand how such misreadings can occur. What Hayek's 1983 address, The Muddle in the Middle has to do with the argument in the Road to Serfdom, which is what we were talking about, is unclear to me. Bruce Caldwell
