German and Viennese Intellectual Thought

In: Hayek’s Journey

Author

  • Alan Ebenstein

Abstract

In the preface to The Constitution of Liberty Hayek gave the following background on himself. Given the place in which he published this—the beginning of what he intended as his great positive work—it deserves added attention. “Perhaps the reader should … know,” he wrote on his sixtieth birthday, that “[m]y mind has been shaped by a youth spent in my native Austria and by two decades of middle life in Great Britain…. [T]he book is to a great extent the product of this background.” Hayek’s childhood, youth, and early adulthood in Austria were vital in shaping his thought.
