Dark Horses

The Nobel Prize bestowed on F. A. Hayek in 1974 was a long-deferred appreciation of one of the finest minds of the twentieth century, as distinguished for its insights in the realm of political theory as for its accomplishments in economic science.

That Hayek’s intellect has lost none of its luminous power after five decades of achievement is amply witnessed by the labor in which he is now engaged, a trilogy being published under the general title, Law, Legislation, and Liberty. The second volume of this series, The Mirage of Social Justice, has recently appeared—last year in hard cover, this year in paperback (University of Chicago Press, $4.95). The work increasingly appears to be the crowning achievement of his career.
