A collection composed of twenty essays and lectures, the majority of which were previously published as separate articles between 1966 and 1976. A diverse selection of essays, ranging from epistemology to issues of socio-economic policy, the work is united into cohesive whole by Hayek’s relentless pursuit of the ‘liberal ideal’. A UK edition was published simultaneously by Routledge.
