Essence of Hayek

The 21 essays in this book provide an overview of the contributions of Nobel laureate and Hoover Institution Honorary Fellow Friedrich A. von Hayek to the fields of economics, political theory, history, and philosophy. Long known as one of the twentieth century's strongest defenders of the free market and the liberal economic and social order, Hayek, as the selections in this book make clear, bases his defense on a rigorous philosophical analysis. The growing acceptance of his thought testifies, in turn, to the rigor and cogency of his arguments.
