Friedrich August Hayek CH (German pronunciation: [ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈaʊ̯ɡʊst ˈhaɪ̯ɛk]) (8 May 1899 – 23 March 1992), born in Austria-Hungary as Friedrich August von Hayek, was an economist and philosopher best known for his defense of classical liberalism and free-market capitalism against socialist and collectivist thought. In 1974, Hayek shared the Nobel Prize in Economics for his "pioneering work in the theory of money and economic fluctuations and... penetrating analysis of the interdependence of economic, social and institutional phenomena."
Hayek is considered to be one of the most important economists and political philosophers of the twentieth century.Along with his mentor Ludwig von Mises, he was an important contributor to the Austrian school of economic thought. Hayek's account of how changing prices communicate information which enable individuals to coordinate their plans is widely regarded as an important achievement in economics.He also contributed to the fields of systems thinking, jurisprudence, neuroscience and the history of ideas.
Hayek served in World War I and said that his experience in the war and his desire to help avoid the mistakes that had led to the war (see below) led him to his career. Hayek lived in Austria, Great Britain, the United States and Germany, and became a British subject in 1938. He spent most of his academic life at the London School of Economics (LSE), the University of Chicago, and the University of Freiburg.
In 1984, he was appointed as a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour by Queen Elizabeth II on the advice of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher for his "services to the study of economics." He also received the US Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1991 from president George H. W. Bush. In 2011, his article The Use of Knowledge in Society was selected as one of the top 20 articles published in the American Economic Review during its first 100 years.

An unimpeachable classic work in political philosophy, intellectual and cultural history, and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians, scholars, and general readers for half a century. Originally published in 1944—when Eleanor Roosevelt supported the efforts of Stalin, and Albert Einstein subscribed lock, stock, and barrel to the socialist program— The Road to Serfdom was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production. For F. A. Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would lead not to a utopia but to the horrors of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
First published by the University of Chicago Press on September 18, 1944, The Road to Serfdom garnered immediate, widespread attention. The first printing of 2,000 copies was exhausted instantly, and within six months more than 30,000 books were sold. In April 1945, Reader’s Digest published a condensed version of the book, and soon thereafter the Book-of-the-Month Club distributed thisedition to more than 600,000 readers. A perennial best seller, the book has sold 400,000 copies in the United States alone and has been translated into more than twenty languages, along the way becoming one of the most important and influential books of the century.
With this new edition, The Road to Serfdom takes its place in the series TheCollected Works of F. A. Hayek. The volume includes a foreword byseries editor and leading Hayek scholar Bruce Caldwell explaining the book's origins and publishinghistory and assessing common misinterpretations ofHayek's thought. Caldwell has also standardized and correctedHayek's references and added helpful new explanatory notes. Supplemented with an appendix of related materials ranging from prepublication reports on the initial manuscriptto forewords to earlier editions by John Chamberlain, Milton Friedman, and Hayek himself, this new edition of The Road to Serfdom will be the definitive version of Friedrich Hayek's enduring masterwork.

評分读书笔记: 【第一章 被离弃的道路】 (1)“由于自由主义对于某一个人不可能提供多于共同进步中的一份,结果它便被看成是一种'消极'的信条。这种进步越来越被视为理所当然之事,而不再被认为是自由政策的结果。甚至可以这样说,自由主义的衰退,正是它的成功所造成的。”(P25...
評分作为一部在中国乃至世界的知识界广为流传的名著,哈耶克此书的行文似乎显得颇为单薄和贫乏,乃至看上去竟不像一部二十世纪的学术作品,而是对十九世纪伯克式政论文的复归。哈耶克自己也提到:“这是一本政治性的书。我不想以社会哲学论文这种更高雅虚妄的名称来称呼它”[1],“...

评分偉人幾皆壞人 世人提及反腐和擅權,常會引用阿剋頓勛爵(Lord Acton)的名言:“權力導緻腐敗,絕對權力導緻絕對腐敗。”這句話的原文是:Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. tend意為:be inclined to move; have a direction,即“傾嚮”;“有某種趨勢”;“趨於”。殷海光先生譯為:“權力趨於腐壞”,似更近原意。 阿剋頓勛爵自認為一生碌碌,但這句名言卻使他名垂青史。這句話源自1887年4月,阿剋頓緻柯萊敦主教(Mandell Creighton)函,力陳教皇“永無謬誤”的禍祟。
