Hayek, co-ordination and evolution : his legacy in philosophy, politics, economics, and the history of ideas

Recent years have witnessed a remarkable revival in Hayek's reputation as an economist, a political philosopher, and an intellectual historian. This book shows why this revival has taken place by demonstrating the continuing relevance and vitality of Hayek's ideas.
