A keystone piece of economic theory and a major influence upon the evolution of Free Market theory, following on from Hayek's seminal "Profits, Interest and Investment" [1939]. In essence the "The Political Ideal of the Rule of Law" is an intellectually passionate defense of legal predictability, equality before the law, and limited government power as it relates to markets and commerce. Hayek's lectures portray these principles not only as essential for political liberty, but also as the foundation of any healthy economic system. Extremely scarce in commerce, with adequate holdings in institutions likely due to the publication's (and Hayek's) association with the University of Chicago.
