Originally published in the US in the previous year, Individualism and the Economic Order is a collection of twelve essays that continue and build upon Hayek’s argument set forth in The Road to Serfdom that the abandonment of individualism and classical liberalism through centralised, government control of economic decision-making necessarily results in tyranny and the loss of freedom.
