Individualism and Economic Order
by F.A. Hayek · 1948
★★★★★Editor's Pickadvanced
This collection includes Hayek's most famous essay, 'The Use of Knowledge in Society' — arguably the most important economics paper ever written. Hayek shows that the knowledge needed to coordinate a complex economy is dispersed among millions of people and can never be centralized. Prices are the only mechanism that can gather and transmit this knowledge.
