Reviews

'...a most exhaustive and thorough examination of Hayek's work which reads clearly and lucidly.' - Milton Friedman, Hoover Institution

'An admirable achievement' - Bruce J. Caldwell, Advances in Austrian Economics

'If one were to read only one book about Hayek, this should be it. Rather than criticising Hayek's work, Steele aims to present an account of Hayek's work that is both comprehensive and concise. In this aim the author succeeds most admirably.' - Karen I. Vaughn, Journal of Economic Literature

'His writing style is even, scholarly and readable, and his positive restatement of Hayekian thought gives us a well-balanced survey of this alternative intellectual agenda.' - Roger W. Garrison, Southern Economic Journal
