Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This latest volume in the Collaborative Biography of Hayek examines the interconnectednessbetween Hayek's (1944) The Road to Serfdom and George Orwell's Animal Farm (1945) andNineteen Eighty-Four (1949); his relationship with Karl Popper and Karl Polanyi; and the workof Wilhelm von Humboldt.

With contributions from a range of highly regarded scholars,this volume continues the Biography's rich exploration of Hayek's work and beliefs.…
