Nobel prize winner F. A. Hayek is among the great thinkers of the twentieth hundred years, but until now there’s been no publication for the non-specialist that explains his suggestions and points out their significance. Eamonn Butler’s apparent, systematic, perceptive research fills this difference. Starting with a brief study of Hayek’s existence, Dr. Butler continues on to analyze all the main elements in his believed under six fundamental headings: Understanding How Society Works; The Market Procedure; Hayek’s Critique of Socialism; Criticism of Sociable Justice; The Organizations of a Liberal Order; as well as the Constitution of the Liberal State.

Hayek’s influence in helping a generation to understand the nature of society as well as the mistakes of collectivism goes considerably beyond that of every other author of his period. Having been decades before his period when he began to create, Hayek is proving to be one of the most seminal thinkers of our age.
