| Why it’s on the list | The first volume of the authorised scholarly biography, following Hayek from Vienna in 1899 to 1950 — the business-cycle work, the move to the LSE, the long argument with Keynes, the calculation debate, The Road to Serfdom’s unexpected success, and the personal rupture that took him to Chicago. Past 800 pages and built on archival material rather than Hayek’s own recollections. |
