Contributed by economics and other researchers from the US and Europe, the seven essays in this volume are drawn from a conference held in October 2014 in Fairfax, Virginia, on the work of Austrian economist F.A. Hayek, addressing how his ideas are being developed in different academic disciplines. They discuss Hayek's Nobel Prize and life; rationality in his system and the context of current behavioral economics; Hayek's impact on modern macroeconomics, particularly after the global financial crisis; the development of his ideas about complex and adaptive systems; and his influence on political science and social theory, including constitutionalism and federalism, political theory and political philosophy, and his epistemic turn in the social and political sciences.
