"This book represents a significant contribution to the existing literature on Hayek, as it provides valuable analysis on the development of Hayek´s economic theory, highlighting largely unknown details that might attract the attention of experts and specialists ... . It is also an important resource for specialists in the history of economic thought, as it constitutes a significant contribution to the literature pertaining to the development of the Austrian School of economics, the progress of liberalism, and Hayek´s economic theories." (Birsen Filip, History of Economic Thought and Policy, Vol. 2, 2015)
