| Summary |
"Although one of the most prominent economists and political philosophers of the twentieth century, Friedrich A. Hayek (1809-1992) remains one of the most puzzling. In this book, Erik Angner dispels many of the mysteries surrounding the nature and origin of Hayek's project by offering a radically new reading of Hayek's life and work." "This book can be read by advanced undergraduates as an introduction to Hayek and by scholars at all levels seeking a fresh interpretation or a deeper understanding of the origin of his work. It will be of interest to anyone engaged in philosophical economics and the history of economic ideas."--BOOK JACKET |
