Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

No spine creases; this trade paperback would grade "as new unread" but for a small soft crease to top corner of rear wrap. It also shows a "Docu-tech crimp," as made. Small correction slip (which the editors feel obliged to call a "Corrigendum") laid in. "The essays presented in this volume are the result of a Friedrich A. Hayek Colloquium that was held in Zurich. Under the auspices of the 'Liberales Institut,' a small group of experts were invited . . . to re-examine the main tenets of his philosophy, and to discuss the enduring relevance of his ideas and precepts after the revolutions of 1989."

What otherwise occurred 1989-1991 was the overdue collapse of the bankrupt shell of the murderous command-and-control system of Soviet Communism, unfortunately without mass execution of the tyrants, which oversight resulted in the fact that Russia is still run by former KGB killers.) A group of European academics (including Hans-Herman Hoppe) gather to pick apart inconsistencies, "hocus-pocus," and "nonsensical definitions" in the philosophy of the Nobel Prize winner who correctly predicted more than 50 years earlier that Communism could not stand. And indeed, Hayek's definitions of "freedom" and "coercion" were rather odd, justifying a coercive government role in so many aspects of life that Herr Hoppe concludes he differed with the Social Democrats only in suggesting that "the post office might perhaps be privatized." 228 pp. including bibliography.
