Patrick Peterson's Reviews > The Tuttle Twins and the Road to Surfdom

2021-07-29 I listened to the audiobook, I did NOT read this paperback edition. Fascinating fictional story based on a significant theme in the book "The Road to Serfdom" by FA Hayek. Hayek's book is meant for adults, and can be difficult for those not familiar with economics, history or government actions. This Tuttle Twins story is very well done for kids 10-14, their parents, or anyone who wants to get a perspective on negative "unintended consequences" of supposedly positive plans and projects.

It is a pretty realistic local/state government plan gone bad (for some existing businesses and customers), if overly ambitious, condensation and simplified example of some of what Hayek was trying to get across.

Love to hear any comments from others who read this, on how well the story, and ideas in it, come across.
