Law, Legislation, and Liberty, Volume 19

"In this essential entry in The Collected Works of F. A. Hayek series, political philosopher Jeremy Shearmur collates Hayek's three-volume opus Law, Legislation and Liberty in a single, critical volume. His synthesis is a feat of more than just format: Shearmur has produced a critical translation of the myriad contradictions and shortcomings of the original volumes, supplementing it with footnotes and translations from the original German that bring the text to new life and relevance. These three volumes constitute a scaling-up of the framework offered in Hayek's famed The Road to Serfdom: Volume 1, Rules and Order, espouses the virtues of classical liberalism; Volume 2, The Mirage of Social Justice, examines the societal forces that undermine liberalism and its capacity to induce "spontaneous order"; Volume 3, The Political Order of a Free People, proposes alternatives and interventions against the emerging anti-liberal movements, including a rule of law that resides in stasis with personal freedom"--
