Get Yer Hayeks Out (Memorial Lecture at NYU Edition)

Writes Robert McNamara, head of NYU's Journal of Law and Liberty:

I am delighted to invite you to the Friedrich A. von Hayek Lecture, a new annual lecture series sponsored by the Journal of Law and Liberty, which focuses on the analysis of law from a classical liberal perspective. The lecture will be held on Wednesday, September 7 at 6:00 p.m. in Greenberg Lounge of Vanderbilt Hall. There will be a reception immediately afterwards, and I would be delighted if you could join us. The inaugural lecturer is Professor Richard Epstein who is visiting NYU School of Law for two weeks this September.

For more info, contact McNamara.

Can anybody recommend a good Hayek read? I have no desire to immerse myself in his complete works, but I'm kind of curious to read something by him, so let's make it good. If I only read one Hayek book, which one should I read?

[Number 6]

Thoreau- The Road to Serfdom.

[Phillip Conti]

Speaking of libertarian law, does anyone know of any good books on Coase?

[SPD]

Number 6 - That's the book my uncle keeps recommending to me. I'm still trying to get through his copy of The Wealth of Nations without nodding off.

By the way, Professor Richard left a note saying he couldn't make to school that night. It was signed "Epstein's Mother."

If you want a free and readily available sample, check out Hayek's Nobel Prize lecture.

[Julian Sanchez]

Rules and Order. (Vol. 1 of the "Law, Legislation and Liberty" trilogy)

I second the recommendation for The Road to Serfdom. It's highly readable and while not as in depth as his other works, it provides an adequte summation of his ideas.

The Fog of Law.
