Okay so here's something weird: right after 7: 36 in this video, turn on the captions- they don't match with what Sir Green is saying at all. Here's the (possibly original but later scrapped) text for your convenience, because it goes by quickly: -Now, of course, there wasn't complete agreement on this liberal, government-led vision of freedom. Like, Frederick Hayek in 1994 published the Road to Serfdom, claiming that government planning posed a threat to individual liberty. And even though he claimed not to be a conservative because conservatives liked social hierarchy, Hayek's equating New Deal planning with fascism and socialism became a foundation for later American conservatives. -
