This book is the eighth volume in this Collaborative Biography, which explores the life and works of Nobel Prize-winning economist F.A. Hayek (1899-1992). Making extensive use of archival material and Hayek's own published writings, it presents a strong challenge to perceptions of the economist's life and thought. In this volume, chapters canvas subjects such as the relationship between the Austrian School of Economics and the Cold War, the Hapsburg Empire, and the overthrow (or planned overthrow) of democracy in a variety of countries, with a view to examining the process by which economics is constructed and disseminated.

Robert Leeson is Visiting Professor of Economics, Stanford University, US.  He is a prolific researcher whose articles have appeared in the world’s leading general journals such as the Economic Journal and Economica.  On a broad measure of publications, he was ranked joint 17th (with Nobel Laureate Paul Samuelson) in the list of the world’s top 500 economists on the basis of the number of journal articles included in the ECONLIT database of the American Economic Association. In addition to editing A.W.H. Phillips’ Collected Works in Contemporary Perspective, Leeson co-edited Milton Friedman’s Collected Writings.
