HAYEK, Friedrich August von (1899-1992)

Freedom and the Economic System. Public Policy Pamphlet No. 29. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1939.

Extremely rare first edition of Hayek's first expression of how 'a system of “general and permanent” laws would help overcome uncertainty and thus provide a framework for individual initiative and action' (Ealy). This 1939 pamphlet outlines in detail Hayek's vision of what a legal system should entail. It develops a critique of central economic planning, which Hayek fine-tuned in his famous The Road to Serfdom which was published 5 years later. Thus, in this work Hayek lays the ground for his robust defence of market libertarianism and the system of private property. He later won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1974. No copies can be traced as selling at auction in the past 50 years (ABPC/RBH). Steven D.
