Hayek and Human Rights: Foundations for a Minimalist Approach to LawEdward Elgar Publishing, 2005 M01 1 - 267 pages Hayek’s vision of the political and economic future has to a remarkable extent come to pass, and his writings can now be seen to contain much that is orthodox and widely accepted. The tight weaving of insights from diverse academic disciplines into a coherent social theory make his work of heightened relevance today, and many of the core constructs and concerns of his theorizing are useful for discussions of human rights. |
