Recommended Reading From Top Hayekian Public Intellectuals

Since being named a “Top Hayekian Public Intellectual” in April 2009 — we have a secret handshake and meet in a treehouse behind Thomas Sowell’s garage — I’ve striven to uphold the honor of the Nobel Prize-winning Austrian School economist.

A devotion to “spontaneous order” means that admission to our ranks is open to all, and Greg Ransom at the Hayek Center offers a list of recommended readings for would-be Hayekians:
