Fortunes of Liberalism

<p>In this new collection of essays F.A. Hayek traces his intellectual roots to the `Austrian school' of economics and links it to the modern rebirth of classical liberal or `libertarian' thought. There is much new interesting material here for scholars of Hayek: essays on Hayek's early life and on the intellectual climate of Vienna in the early part of the twentieth century; Hayek's opening address to the inaugural meeting of the Mont Pélerin Society and other material from the period when Hayek was playing his part in the revival of liberal thought; Hayek's views on his teachers and on other leading figures in the Austrian school.<br>This is the fourth volume of <em>The Collected Works of F.A. Hayek</em> and the third to appear. This series provides a new standard edition of Hayek's writing - complete newly ordered and comprehensively annotated. Much of the material in this volume is either previously unpublished or previously unavailable in English.</p>
