This tenth part of Robert Leeson's collaborative biography of
Friedrich August von Hayek explores Hayek’s thought on the free
market and democracy. Using an unparalleled array of archival
materials, Leeson reconstructs Hayek’s thinking as the notorious
economist and his acolytes set about reshaping the post-war economic
order. Darker areas of Hayek’s thought are also explored, including
the influence of eugenics on his thought and his support for radical
right-wing dictatorships in South America. Leeson concludes this
volume with a collection of chapters written by eminent scholars of
Hayek. These chapters cover subjects as diverse as Hayek’s influence
on scholars of Darwinian evolution, his views on psychology, and
cultural evolution.
