Item description from seller

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. Mises had a 'deep emotional attachment' to the 'free' market andHayek believed that 'science' was driven by shallow emotions.Hayek believed in 'democracy as a system of peaceful change of government; but that's allits whole advantage is, no other.' He felt democracy simply made it possible to get rid of thegovernment 'we' dislike. Hayek bemoaned the decay of superstition - the 'supporting moralbeliefs' - that are required to maintain 'our' civilization. Yet his Road to Serfdom neglected'another road to serfdom' - the possibility that there were multiple threats to individualfreedom -not just State power. In contrast, many other scholars and public intellectual warnedof the dangers of the concentration of power in institutions other than the State. Today thosefears have materialized in the guise of wealthy mega-corporations and billionaires whoseinfluence on government, on elections, on popular culture and on the dominant ideology, havebeen able to change the rules of the market in their favour - so that 'we' have now becometrapped in a new kind of serfdom. With contributions from a range of highly regarded scholars,this volume continues the Biography's rich exploration of Hayek's work and beliefs.
