Few 20th‐century figures have had as much impact, and been so criticized, as Friedrich Hayek—Nobel Prize‐winning economist, social theorist, leader of the Austrian School of Economics, and champion of classical liberalism.

In Hayek: A Life, historians of economics Bruce Caldwell and Hansjoerg Klausinger draw on never‐before‐seen archival and family material to produce an authoritative account of Hayek’s first five decades. This includes portrayals of his early career in Vienna; his relationships in London and Cambridge; his family disputes; and definitive accounts of the creation of The Road to Serfdom and of the founding meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society.
