The twenty-one 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.
A well-edited selection of papers, essays, and speeches that reflect the diversity, complexity, and coherency of Hayek's system of thought.
"If Hayek has a legacy, one part is a constant reminder that human knowledge is limited and that an understanding of this limitation is the first step toward wisdom. Another part of his message is that many social institutions persist precisely because they enable people to survive and prosper in a world in which knowledge is limited and that attempts to create institutions anew, often undertaken with the best of intentions, have been the cause of much human misery."
