Reviews

Austrian economist Friedrich A. von Hayek (1899-1992) wrote autobiographical notes for several years beginning in 1945. These are combined with excerpts from interviews, and the transcript of a 1945 radio broadcast as a way of letting him tell about his own life and intellectual development. The arrangement is chronological. The volume supplements his collected works, published by the University of Chicago Press. Reference & Research Book News February 2009
