Hayek: The Iron Cage Of Liberty: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Hayek: The Iron Cage Of Liberty" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
This book traces Hayeks intellectual formation in Austrian economics and English liberalism. It analyzes the main themes of his thought such as the idea of a market order, the nature of knowledge, the limits of government, and his critiques of socialism and conservatism, and assesses the originality and internal coherence of his account of liberalism and modernity as well as his interventions in policy debates. It argues that Hayek the social scientist has to be disentangled from Hayek the ideologue in order to appreciate the importance and implications of some of his insights into the nature of modern societies.
As a critical guide to one of the most influential thinkers of our times, this book is an indispensable source. It will be of interest to students in politics, economics and philosophy, as well as to all those interested in a comprehensive introduction to one of the most controversial thinkers of the twentieth century.

For Tom, Corinna, and Sarah
While it may not be difficult to destroy the spontaneous formations which are the indispensable bases of a free civilisation, it may be beyond our power deliberately to reconstruct such a civilisation once these foundations are destroyed.
Hayek, The Road to Serfdom
There is simply no other choice than this: either to abstain from interference in the free play of the market, or to delegate the entire management of production and distribution to the government. Either capitalism or socialism: there exists no middle way.
Mises, The Free and Prosperous Commonwealth
Hayek has long held a peculiar fascination for me, connected as he is with so many of the themes and problems which have interested me since I was a graduate student. Many of these obsessions appear in some form in these pages. David Held first suggested that I should turn some of my thoughts on Hayek into a book. I did not think it would take me as long as it has, and I am conscious of only having scratched the surface of some topics. The more I have explored Hayek, the more aware I have become of the complexity and range of his thought and the difficulty of some of the issues he raises, for which we lack answers. What I have tried to do here is to provide an assessment and a critical analysis of Hayeks achievement, to indicate some of the limitations of his thought, and to suggest why he is still relevant to us.
One of my particular interests in Hayek is his role in the ideological change in the British Conservative party in the 1970s. One of the origins of this book, as well as much other work I have done in the last fifteen years, is the article The Free Economy and the Strong State published in the Socialist Register in 1979. The exploration of Hayek as an ideologue remains one of the central themes of the book. But I have also become interested in the contrast between Hayek the ideologue and Hayek the social scientist, and the extent to which he failed to develop many of his insights because of the ideological closures he imposed on his work. These ideological closures have also been responsible for Hayek not reaching a wider readership. It has been too easy to dismiss him as engaged in a forlorn project to restore the liberalism of an earlier era. I hope to have shown that there is great deal more to Hayek than that.
I have incurred many debts in the writing of this book. An invitation to a Liberty Fund symposium on the relationship between ideas, interests, and circumstances was very valuable at an early stage, and I particularly benefited from conversations with Arthur Seldon, David Willetts, John Burton, and Norman Barry among others about some of the general themes of the book. Others from whom I have learnt a great deal include Raymond Plant, Richard Bellamy, Martin Durham, Hilary Wainwright, Andrew Denham, Rodney Barker, and Jeremy Shearmur. David Miliband invited me to give a presentation on Hayek to an Institute of Public Policy Research seminar which produced a lively exchange, and I have also benefited from seminar discussions at Kobe, Strathclyde, Manchester, Cambridge, the London School of Economics, Edinburgh, and Nuffield.
I owe most of all to the Department of Politics and the Political Economy Research Centre at the University of Sheffield for providing such a stimulating environment in the last few years in which to think about problems of political economy. I am particularly grateful for specific help, comments, conversations, and encouragement from Anthony Arblaster, Tim Bale, Michael Harris, Gavin Kelly, Michael Kenny, Ankie Hoogvelt, David Marquand, Brian McCormick, James Meadowcroft, Tony Payne, and Matthew Sowemimo.
