Understanding Hayek: An Ongoing Project
Peter Boettke, University Professor of Economics and Philosophy and Director of the F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at George Mason University, served as FMI Distinguished Visiting Scholar during the Spring 2022 semester. Prof. Boettke's areas of expertise include Austrian economics, institutional economics, and comparative economics.
Prof. Boettke's seminar focused on his past and ongoing research on the relevance of F. A. Hayek's insights for tackling difficult questions in the social sciences. The seminar will feature selections from Prof. Boettke's book, F. A. Hayek: Economics, Political Economy and Social Philosophy. Participants also read and discussed Prof. Boettke's working manuscript F. A. Hayek: A Very Short Introduction. This manuscript is intended to provide guidance to young scholars for progressive research programs in the social sciences. Through participation in the seminar, graduate fellows had a unique opportunity to provide their input to the working manuscript.
