The Fatal Conceit

F.A. Hayek · 2013
76/100
👍 Worth It

Hayek's last major statement pulls together a lifetime of arguing that no one mind can out-plan a market's spontaneous order — it's a genuinely important capstone to his body of work. Just come prepared for dense philosophical prose; this rewards readers who already have some economics under their belt.
