| Summary |
"Adam Ferguson and Friedrich Hayek, separated by a period of almost two hundred years made original but similar contributions to the field of theoretical sociology. In this collection of essays, Ronald Hamowy explores the life and work of these two thinkers, giving special emphasis to their insights into the diffusion of knowledge." "Scholars and students of sociology, economics, history and political theory will find The Political Sociology of Freedom a unique and valuable read."--BOOK JACKET |
