Friedrich August Hayek CH (German pronunciation: [ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈaʊ̯ɡʊst ˈhaɪ̯ɛk]) (8 May 1899 – 23 March 1992), born in Austria-Hungary as Friedrich August von Hayek, was an economist and philosopher best known for his defense of classical liberalism and free-market capitalism against socialist and collectivist thought. In 1974, Hayek shared the Nobel Prize in Economics for his "pioneering work in the theory of money and economic fluctuations and... penetrating analysis of the interdependence of economic, social and institutional phenomena."
Hayek is considered to be one of the most important economists and political philosophers of the twentieth century.Along with his mentor Ludwig von Mises, he was an important contributor to the Austrian school of economic thought. Hayek's account of how changing prices communicate information which enable individuals to coordinate their plans is widely regarded as an important achievement in economics.He also contributed to the fields of systems thinking, jurisprudence, neuroscience and the history of ideas.
Hayek served in World War I and said that his experience in the war and his desire to help avoid the mistakes that had led to the war (see below) led him to his career. Hayek lived in Austria, Great Britain, the United States and Germany, and became a British subject in 1938. He spent most of his academic life at the London School of Economics (LSE), the University of Chicago, and the University of Freiburg.
In 1984, he was appointed as a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour by Queen Elizabeth II on the advice of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher for his "services to the study of economics." He also received the US Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1991 from president George H. W. Bush. In 2011, his article The Use of Knowledge in Society was selected as one of the top 20 articles published in the American Economic Review during its first 100 years.

An unimpeachable classic work in political philosophy, intellectual and cultural history, and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians, scholars, and general readers for half a century. Originally published in 1944—when Eleanor Roosevelt supported the efforts of Stalin, and Albert Einstein subscribed lock, stock, and barrel to the socialist program— The Road to Serfdom was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production. For F. A. Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would lead not to a utopia but to the horrors of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
First published by the University of Chicago Press on September 18, 1944, The Road to Serfdom garnered immediate, widespread attention. The first printing of 2,000 copies was exhausted instantly, and within six months more than 30,000 books were sold. In April 1945, Reader’s Digest published a condensed version of the book, and soon thereafter the Book-of-the-Month Club distributed thisedition to more than 600,000 readers. A perennial best seller, the book has sold 400,000 copies in the United States alone and has been translated into more than twenty languages, along the way becoming one of the most important and influential books of the century.
With this new edition, The Road to Serfdom takes its place in the series TheCollected Works of F. A. Hayek. The volume includes a foreword byseries editor and leading Hayek scholar Bruce Caldwell explaining the book's origins and publishinghistory and assessing common misinterpretations ofHayek's thought. Caldwell has also standardized and correctedHayek's references and added helpful new explanatory notes. Supplemented with an appendix of related materials ranging from prepublication reports on the initial manuscriptto forewords to earlier editions by John Chamberlain, Milton Friedman, and Hayek himself, this new edition of The Road to Serfdom will be the definitive version of Friedrich Hayek's enduring masterwork.

這是一本不算長,但我卻沒有完全欣賞到其偉大之處的著作。因為它“不是科學論文,而是通俗性著作”【Boering,6】,缺乏嚴謹性;而且或許也是戰爭時代的産物,那種緊張的時代氛圍不復能為我所感知。因此雖然Hayek的自由至上主義【libertarianism】立場顯露得清晰無餘,但卻缺...

評分芝大齣版社的重印版,加上瞭當年相關的書評、信件和一個長長的關於本書淵源和軼事的introduction。本書初付梓的時候齣版社預料二戰後政治氣氛緩和,這類政治書籍銷路不會太好,結果大賣。有弗裏德曼兩篇極力推介的文字,不過似乎沒有抓住哈耶剋的精髓,有藉題發揮之嫌,但哈的著作能在美國傳開,一定chengdushang確實有賴弗裏德曼等人的鼓吹和介紹。四年之後重讀這本書,一來感嘆當年讀的中文本錯誤、刪節和亂譯實在太多,離原文神韻相差數個檔次;二來也迴憶起在大學第一次因為想讀完一本書而不願睡覺。是這本書把當時那個青澀懵懂的我帶進對政治經濟問題的嚴肅思考,並仍然在很大程度上影響著我的思維和知識結構。時至今日,我與哈耶剋的觀點——至少是本書的觀點——已經頗有距離,不過哈耶剋在自己心目中的地位仍然很難被代
