While intended as a capstone work to summarize his lifelong contributions to the social sciences, this book takes a somewhat novel tack by examining the origin and nature of ethics. Like Marx, Hayek sees an inherent contradiction in Western capitalistic societies.
Hayek's classical liberal critics maintain that his argument in his last published work, The Fatal Conceit, allows for only a very small role for the critical scrutiny of tradition and little prospect for the ability to use reason to overcome the growing problems of our age.
