lcorbin@tsoft.com quotes Ron h: At that time conditions often get so bad
that the electorate starts demanding a strongman take over to make the
decisions to make things come out right.
The Lee replied: "That's plausible, but on the other hand, mostly it's the
other way around."

Lee,
       My memory is that von Hayek felt Hitler was as much a case of being
recruited as having sought the job. I don't want to get too involved in that
argument as I wore out my PB copy of vH's book before I was half through it.
I now have a HB copy on order and hope it lasts until I finish the last page.
       BTW, I am not denying Hitler also sought the job.
Ron h.
