Description:

F.A. Hayek said that his biggest regret in a lifetime of writing was that he never wrote a book-length refutation of Keynesian economics. He seriously doubted that Keynesian-style planning would ever captivate governments, so he focused on different things. Economist Sudha Shenoy decided to rectify the problem. As a Hayek scholar, she noted that Hayek had in fact addressed Keynesian policy in scattered places throughout 40 years of writing. She decided to select the most poignant passages. She linked them all together with marvelous commentary and analysis. And voila! Here is the book on Keynesian economics that Hayek never wrote. It first came out in 1972, to wide acclaim. The Hayek parts are fantastic, of course. The surprise is the expert editing job by Professor Shenoy, which adds enormous value. In 192 pages, the book ended up being a total demolition by Hayek of the most baneful influence on economic science in the 20th century. It was published by the Institute of Economic Affairs but fell out of print. This new Laissez Faire Books edition has an editorial preface by Jeffrey Tucker and a long and wonderful new foreword by John Papola, the co-maker of the magnificent Hayek-Keynes video series. Papola explains why Hayek had such a huge influence on his life and led him to make those now-famous videos. In total, then, this is a priceless collection, one that will enlighten and save you from hopping up and down to your bookshelf. It strikes you as you read what a brilliant mind Hayek had, how tough-minded he really was, and just how off-base is Keynesian theory. You can get the metaphor of the title. What Keynesianism unleashes is wicked inflation that no one can control. This might be the essential guide to our future.
