"""F. A. Hayek's contributions extended across many decades and many fields, and inevitably contained many tensions. In this compelling collection, some of the tensions are argued to be illusory; others to be real, but resolvable; and others to be real and unresolved, serving as invitations to further work. The chapter authors know their subjects well, and make substantive contributions. This is a fine contribution to Hayekian and, indeed, social science scholarship."" - Bruce Caldwell, research professor of economics and director of the Center for the History of Political Economy, Duke University; author of Hayek's Challenge: An Intellectual Biography of F. A. Hayek (Chicago University Press, 2004) ""Hayek, one of the most influential 20th Century economists, continues to grow in reputation and influence. His work, however, is in many respects enigmatic, and hence the importance of this book in examining Hayek's contributions. What will persist and grow ever more significant, I believe, is Hayek's discovery and articulation of the pricing system as an information and coordination system, thereby returning economics to Adam Smith's principal theme."" -Vernon Smith, Nobel laureate in economics; professor of economics and law and the George L. Argyros Endowed Chair in Finance and Economics at Chapman University; coauthor of Humanomics (Cambridge University Press, 2019) ""This collection of engaging essays is testimony to the richness and vitality of Hayek's thought. It is also full of ideas for future work inspired by Hayek's insights."" -Chandran Kukathas, dean and Lee Kong Chian Chair Professor of Political Science, School of Social Sciences, Singapore Management University; author of The Liberal Archipelago (Oxford University Press, 2003)"
