Description

Friedrich Hayek: A Life, 1899-1950 is a landmark work of history and biography that offers an authoritative account of the influential economist's first five decades. Historians Bruce Caldwell and Hansjörg Klausinger draw on never-before-seen archival and family material to produce a comprehensive portrait of Hayek's life. The book explores Hayek's early career in Vienna, his relationships in London and Cambridge, and his family disputes, as well as the creation of The Road to Serfdom and the founding meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society. This detailed account sheds new light on Hayek's formative years and provides a nuanced understanding of his intellectual development. A major contribution to both cultural accounting and intellectual history, Hayek: A Life is an essential read for anyone interested in the life and work of this towering figure.
