I have another book of his.  It's called from freedom to slavery.  He praises Jesus and Marx in the intro.

Occaisionally I get it out and read til I get so mad I throw it accross the room... I'm about to chapter two. The tyrany of Maleness (or is it the Tyranny of Money? or The Tyranny of Work?)

Might still be worth checking out. But more than agreed on the batty part.
