Features: The Constitution of Liberty is one of the most important libertarian theoretical masterpieces written by Nobel laureate Friedrich Hayek. "Hayek's works elaborate a philosophical system whose ambition is comparable to that of Mill and Marx, yet it is far less open to criticism because it is based on a philosophically sound view of the scope and limits of reason. For this reason alone, Hayek's works are worthy of the critical attention of philosophers, sociologists, and political economists." Classic works become timeless masterpieces due to their enduring charm; commentaries on these classics by renowned scholars also become timeless masterpieces, equally so, because of the brilliance of the classics and the unique intellectual charm of the scholars.
