Hayek’s Chicago Seminar on Justice and Equality

Hayek

In 1950-51 Hayek presented a seminar at the University of Chicago entitled “Justice and Equality.” The seminar was opened to faculty and students and it was Hayek’s 

. . . hope that the seminar can be conducted with the participation of members of all the various departments concerned, particularly a number of lawyers, economists, and philosophers, and that the discussion will be to some extent a [d]iscussion among faculty members in front of the students, though of course without excluding the students from active participation. 

Here is the seminar syllabus including the topical outline, bibliography, and seemingly a partial listing of guest co-leaders or leaders (it is not clear which) of some of the sessions of the seminar.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
