Mises for the lazy

I was reading the excellent Mises collection of essays and addresses "Planning For Freedom", and it occurred to me that I could kick back and let someone else take the trouble, in this case Gennady Stolyarov II. Thw lecture was originally presented to the University Club of New York, April 18, 1950, and bears the title 'Middle-of-the-road leads to socialism' - also found in the Mises Institute publication "Two Essays".

His writings in the immediate post-WWII period are interesting for pointing out to an American audience how Britain had become a socialist state, and that this is attributed to the Churchill government rather than the Atlee one.
