Synopsis

This fourth volume examines his time in Vienna and Chicago (1931-1950), when Hayek held the prestigious University of London Tooke Professorship of Economic Science and Statistics. Between Vienna and Chicago (1931-1950), although his business cycle work was apparently defeated, this study takes a closer look at Hayek's successes.

Review

“This book represents an important contribution to the development of modern liberal ideas, and the discipline of economics in general, as it provides a great deal of unknown information about Hayek’s personal flaws that directly shaped his academic work.” (Birsen Filip, History of Economic Thought and Policy, Vol. 2, 2015)
