First UK edition. 8vo. x, 356 pp. Original brick red cloth, spine lettered in gilt, dust jacket (contents clean and fresh; just a hint of trivial shelf wear to extremities of jacket, else a near fine, notably bright copy). London, Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1967.
A diverse collection of twenty five essays and lectures ranging from epistemology to issues of socio-economic policy, the majority of which were previously published as separate articles between 1949 and 1967. The essays are united into a cohesive whole by Hayek’s relentless pursuit of the ‘liberal ideal’. Published simultaneously in the US by the University of Chicago Press without established precedence.
