Writings on F. A. Hayek
This is a review of Hayek's last book, the first volume in a new series of Hayek's collected works. The book was heavily edited by William W Bartley who was also the general editor of the series until he died in 1990. Not all admirers of Hayek were happy with this book because they regarded it as a retreat from robust individualism.
This provides an overview of a collection of papers written for the 50th anniversary of the publication of Hayek's timely tract. The contributors highlight some of the successes that were won by this book, while others point to work that remains to be done.

A draft paper on the achievement and then the lost opportunity when Parsons reinvented the Austrian wheel of the action frame of reference in the 1930s which could have converged with Mises on praxeology and Popper's situational analysis to re-integrate and re-invigorate the social sciences.

"It is not who governs but what government
is entitled to do that seems to me the essential problem."
