Opis

Scholars within the Hayekian-Austrian tradition of classical liberalism have done virtually no work on the family as an economic and social institution. Hayek's Modern Family offers a classical liberal theory of the family, taking Hayekian social theory as the main analytical framework.

Recenzje

"Hayek's Modern Family: Classical Liberalism and the Evolution of Social Institutions introduces a theoretical frame that not only explains past trends in family formation, but also suggests productive directions for future scholarship. As such, Horwitz's contribution is recommended for anyone with an interest in the study of the family, from students seeking their first introduction to the 'how' and 'why' of family in the Western world to scholars seeking research inspiration." (Jayme Lemke, The Review of Austrian Economics, Vol. 30, 2017)
