The collected works of F A Hayek. Vol 1 ; The fatal conceit: the errors of socialism, edited by W W Bartley ... Vol 4 ; The fortunes of liberalism: essays on Austrian economics and the ideal of freedom, edited by Peter G Klein

Hayek gives the main arguments for the free-market case and presents his manifesto on the "errors of socialism." Hayek argues that socialism has, from its origins, been mistaken on factual, and even on logical, grounds and that its repeated failures in the many different practical applications of socialist ideas that this century has witnessed were the direct outcome of these errors. He labels as the "fatal conceit" the idea that "man is able to shape the world around him according to his wishes." "The achievement of __The Fatal Conceit__ is that it freshly shows why socialism must be refuted rather than merely dismissed--then refutes it again."--David R. Henderson, __Fortune__. "Fascinating. . . . The energy and precision with which Mr. Hayek sweeps away his opposition is impressive."--Edward H. Crane, __Wall Street Journal__ F. A. Hayek is considered a pioneer in monetary theory, the preeminent proponent of the libertarian philosophy, and the ideological mentor of the Reagan and Thatcher "revolutions."

A critique of socialism by the Nobel Prize–winning economist: "The energy and precision with which Mr. Hayek sweeps away his opposition is impressive." — The Wall Street Journal In this work, F.A. Hayek—a pioneer in monetary theory and proponent of libertarian philosophy—gives the main arguments for the free-market case and presents his manifesto on the "errors of socialism." Hayek argues that socialism has, from its origins, been mistaken on factual, and even on logical, grounds and that its repeated failures in the many different practical applications of socialist ideas that the twentieth century witnessed were the direct outcome of these errors. He labels as the "fatal conceit" the idea that "man is able to shape the world around him according to his wishes." "The achievement of The Fatal Conceit is that it freshly shows why socialism must be refuted rather than merely dismissed—then refutes it again." — Fortune F.A. Hayek presents a fundamental examination and critique of the central issues of socialism. His analysis begins with David Hume's insight that 'the rules of morality ...are not conclusions of our reason.' 'Was Socialism a mistake?' he asks, and drawing upon research in evolutionary epistemology, moral tradition, and other current ethical thinking, he probes for answers. He argues that socialism, from its origins, has been mistaken on scientific and factual, even on logical grounds - and that its repeated failures were the direct outcome of these scientific errors. Highly readable and controversial, a work of considerable scholarship and energy, The Fatal Conceit will greatly advance our contemporary understanding of the economic and political issues confronting the world, especially important as debates between socialism and capitalism grow. & DIV & Hayek gives the main arguments for the free-market case and presents his manifesto on the "errors of socialism."

As Hayek reminds us, the cornerstone of modern economics -theory of value and price- 'represents a consistent continuation of the fundamental principles handed down by the Vienna school.'Here, in this modern collection of essays on the Australian school by one of its preeminent figures, is the genesis of this tradition and its place in intellectual history.Freedom, Hayek writes survives only when people chose to learn the lessons of economic and social theory. v. 1.
