Demonstrate proper understanding of both books “The Road to Serfdom, F.A. Hayek” and”The Sane Society, Erich Fromm”and compare, contrast and explain each author’s position, concepts and theories.

Guidelines and additional material attached.
This assignment is based on two books

1) The Road to Serfdom, F.A. Hayek

2) The Sane Society, Erich Fromm
Yo must demonstrate proper understanding of both books and compare, contrast and explain each author’s position, concepts and theories. You have to research about both author’s ideologies and write based on that (I can tell you that they are both different … Hayek is a 20th century liberal economist focused on the market repealing socialism and communism all the time and Fromm is a Frankfurt school sociologist and psychoanalyst whose intention is to explain the relationship between the structure and people’s sanity/insanity). Please understand their positions in both books and concentrate on that.
