From the $700 billion bailout of the banking industry to president Barack Obamas $787 billion stimulus package to the highly controversial passage of federal healthcare reform, conservatives and concerned citizens alike have grown increasingly fearful of big government. Enter Nobel Prizewinning economist and political theorist F. A. Hayek, whose passionate warning against empowering states with greater economic control, The Road to Serfdom, became an overnight sensation last summer when it was endorsed by Glenn Beck. The book has since sold over 150,000 copies.The latest entry in the University of Chicago Presss series of newly edited editions of Hayeks works, The Constitution of Liberty is, like Serfdom, just as relevant to our present moment. The book is considered Hayeks classic statement on the ideals of freedom and liberty, ideals that he believes have guidedand must continue to guidethe growth of Western civilization. Here Hayek defends the principles of a free society, casting a skeptical eye on the growth of the welfare state and examining the challenges to freedom posed by an ever expanding governmentas well as its corrosive effect on the creation, preservation, and utilization of knowledge. In opposition to those who call for the state to play a greater role in society, Hayek puts forward a nuanced argument for prudence. Guided by this quality, he elegantly demonstrates that a free market system in a democratic polityunder the rule of law and with strong constitutional protections of individual rightsrepresents the best chance for the continuing existence of liberty.Striking a balance between skepticism and hope, Hayeks profound insights are timelier and more welcome than ever before. This definitive edition of The Constitution of Liberty will give a new generation the opportunity to learn from his enduring wisdom.
