Revisiting Hayek's Political Economy

On October 2-5, 2014, the Hayek Program hosted an event to reflect on Hayek's Nobel Prize (1974) and the various strands of influence his work has had in the subsequent decades. We wanted to explore that idea and see where it may lead us in the future of economics and political economy. The papers in this volume were presented and discussed at that conference and are intended to address the ways that Hayek's ideas are currently being developed in a variety of academic disciplines and various fields of study. We were fortunate to attract leading representatives of various aspects of what could be termed Hayekian ideas: Bruce Caldwell, Mario J. Rizzo, Lawrence H. White, Robert L. Axtell, Viktor J. Vanberg, Michael C. Munger, and Paul Aligica.
