F.A. Hayek's economic arguments for limited government in The Road to Serfdom brought him international fame, forming the cornerstone to a brilliant career that spanned six decades and earned him the Nobel Prize for economic science in 1974. In America Hayek rejuvenated the cause for classical liberalism on the Right, which had retreated into scattered and disorganized pockets of dissent during the New Deal era. Hayek's popular critique of the state-run economy was embraced by both the libertarian and conservative factions, serving as a rare and important bridge between two competing philosophies.

520 $a F.A. Hayek's economic arguments for limited government in The Road to Serfdom brought him international fame, forming the cornerstone to a brilliant career that spanned six decades and earned him the Nobel Prize for economic science in 1974. In America Hayek rejuvenated the cause for classical liberalism on the Right, which had retreated into scattered and disorganized pockets of dissent during the New Deal era. Hayek's popular critique of the state-run economy was embraced by both the libertarian and conservative factions, serving as a rare and important bridge between two competing philosophies.
520 $a Chiefly remembered as an economist, Hayek actually devoted the majority of his career after The Road to Serfdom to political philosophy. Libertarians and conservatives, who so enthusiastically embraced his economic theory, have quietly rejected his political thought. The paradoxical relationship between Hayek and the Right has never been fully analyzed, in part because Hayek's political philosophy contains an odd mixture of progressive and traditionalist elements that are difficult to reconcile with each other, much less with his commitment to limited government.
520 $a This dissertation considers Hayek's political thought in light of his general theory of society found in his early writings on epistemology and human evolution. Hayek's political philosophy does not fit seamlessly into the American political tradition because his arguments for limited government are rooted in a thoroughly modern, Darwinian theory of man and society ordered to infinite progress. Dismissing both natural rights and social contract theory, Hayek declares that the Knowledge Problem is the basis for limited government: the mind is essentially cut off from reality, and the information necessary to found and direct political institutions is irrevocably dispersed among all the members of society.
520 $a The purpose of political philosophy according to Hayek is to cultivate spontaneous order, which alone can bring progress. The classical liberalism of the American Right, however, is rooted in the Founders' concepts of man and society. As this foundation cannot be reconciled with Hayek's progressivism, libertarians and conservatives must reject his political philosophy.
