F. A. Hayek by A J Tebble

F. A. Hayek by A J Tebble

Friedrich August von Hayek (1899-1992), winner of the Nobel Prize in economics, was an influential economist and political philosopher. The increased attention he received in the late 20th century with the rise of conservatism in the US and UK, led him to publish Why I Am Not a Conservative, an essay in which he berated conservatism. He preferred to be identified as what Edmund Burke called an Old Whig. Amongst his most important contributions are his writings on general equilibrium, central planning and social justice as well as his political theory work, The Constitution of Liberty, in which he explained the proper role of the government.

"The volumes in this timely series comprise the most comprehensive body of material on conservative and libertarian thought yet published in a single project devoted to the subjectThe series will prove an indispensable tool not only for those concerned with the history of political thought but also for those who confront the challenging task of constructing a viable contemporary conservative identity. Professor Meadowcroft had a difficult editorial task, to which he has responded with a judicious choice of thinkers and topics." Noel O'Sullivan, Professor of Political Philosophy, the University of Hull, UK. 
"a worthwhile project and one that should generate considerable interest" Professor Bruce Caldwell, University of North Carolina, General Editor of The Collected Works of F.A. Hayek
