""The Intellectuals and Socialism"" is a book written by Friedrich A. Hayek, a Nobel Prize-winning economist and philosopher. In this book, Hayek examines the role of intellectuals in promoting socialist policies and ideologies. He argues that intellectuals have a tendency to be attracted to socialism because it offers a vision of a more just and equal society. However, Hayek contends that this vision is flawed and that socialist policies ultimately lead to economic inefficiency and individual oppression. He also explores the historical context of socialism and how it has been implemented in various countries throughout history. Hayek's critique of socialism is based on his belief in the importance of individual freedom and the market economy. Overall, ""The Intellectuals and Socialism"" is a thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between intellectuals and socialist ideology.This is a new release of the original 1949 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Light Creasing on Rear Cover; Spine Lightly Chipped; Light Sticker Pull to Front Cover; Front Cover Lightly Soiled. ALSO KNOWN AS: This essay first appeared in The University of Chicago Law Review, Vol. 16, No. 3, Spring 1949, and is reprinted by permission. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Friedrich A. Hayek, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1974, is best known for the book The Road to Serfdom, which has been translated into twelve languages. Receiving doctorates in law and economics from the University of Vienna, he has served on the faculties of the Universities of London, Chicago, Freiburg, and Salzburg. His major books include The Constitution of Liberty, The Sensory Order, The Pure Theory of Capital, The Counter-Revolution of Science, Studies in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and The Fatal Conceit. A complete bibliography of his works can be found in Literature of Liberty, Vol. 5, No. 4, 1982, pp. 68-101. This work also includes a bibliography of works about, or relevant to, Hayek. EXCERPT: Introduction: ...Professor Hayek, in this classic article written more than two decades ago, examines with extraordinary insight and foresight the role of the "intellectuals"-those "second-hand dealers in ideas." Despite the efficiency and multiplicity of present-day mass media-indeed perhaps because of them-many who consider themselves reasonable and independent "thinking men" have, in fact, had their opinions formed for them without ever examining personally, with detachment and in the light of reason, the facts involved in a public issue and the inferences resulting from the interpretations of those facts. Continuing study of the origin and promulgation of ideas is essential both to our sanity and to our survival. It is in this spirit that the Institute for Humane Studies presents this reprint of Professor Hayek's perceptive essay. -Arthur Kemp, Charles M. Stone Professor of Money and Credit, Claremont Men's College, Claremont, California.
