NOTES

Friedrich Hayek was a leading figure in the Austrian school of economics. 'Law, Legislation and Liberty' is widely regarded as the culmination of Hayek's philosophical career; Hayek argues that human reason is structurally incapable of comprehending, let alone deliberately directing, the complex social orders that emerge from centuries of human interaction.

He shared the 1974 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with Gunnar Myrdal.

Hayek spent a year in 1968/1969 as a visiting professor of philosophy at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he continued work on his later book 'Law, Legislation and Liberty', teaching a graduate seminar by the same name and another on the philosophy of social science.
