Description: First UK edition, first impression, of 12 collected lectures, papers, and essays, originally published between 1935 and 1947. Hayek covers economics, ethics, and methodology, but his primary theme is the conflict between free markets and planned economies - which he had discussed extensively in The Road to Serfdom (1944). "All of these essays bring great learning and intelligence to bear upon economic and social issues of central importance to our era. Every open-minded reader of this book will find his own understanding of these questions enriched, clarified and deepened" (Hazlitt, p. 83). The US edition was published in 1948. Cody & Ostrem B-7. Henry Hazlitt, The Free Man's Library, 1956. Octavo. Original black cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Bookseller's ticket of Subun-So, Tokyo, to front pastedown.
