Twenty years ahead of its time, Hayek's thinking has become the stuff of economic orthodoxy in the twenty-first century and he remains a crucial voice in the debates about globalisation that are raging ever more passionately today.
Klappentext:
Working after the war, Hayek's writing was very much against the tide of mainstream Keynesian economic thought. But in the 1970s and 1980s - the eras of Thatcherism and Reaganomics - he was championed as a prophet of neo-liberalism by those who were seeking to revolutionize the post-war social consensus. The Constitution of Liberty is crucial reading for all those seeking to understand ideas that have become the orthodoxy in the age of the globalized economy.
