The essence of Hayek

The twenty-one essays in this book provide an overview of the contributions of Nobel laureate Hayek to the fields of economics, political theory, history and philosophy. A leading member of the Austrian School of Economics and a defender of the free market and the liberal social and economic order, Hayek has written on such diverse subjects as the business cycle, monetary theory, capital, economic and social organization, law history, epistemology, the theory of science and government. His writings in various fields are unified by two fundamental ideas -- the limitation of knowledge and the spontaneous formation of systems. ISBN 0-8179-8011-3 : $27.50
