- Summary
- "As a follow-up to his biography of Friedrich Hayek, Alan Ebenstein takes readers on a deeper journey into the mind of the man who was, arguably, one of the most brilliant thinkers of the twentieth century. Going beyond the story of Hayek's life, Hayek's Journey gives readers an in-depth look at the evolution of his thought. In individual chapters devoted to the great influences on Hayek, Ebenstein looks at the Austrian School of Economics, Ludwig von Mises, John Maynard Keynes, Karl Popper, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, and others. By working forward from these great influences to the great works of Hayek's oeuvre like The Road to Serfdom and The Constitution of Liberty, Ebenstein builds a complex intellectual portrait of the theorist who has had a greater effect on late twentieth century economic and political thought than any other. This is a classic of Hayek scholarship written in readable prose by his biographer. Anyone who read Alan Ebenstein's biography of Hayek will want this brilliant companion volume to complete the portrait of a complex and influential thinker."--BOOK JACKET.
