Professor Bruce Caldwell was the keynote speaker at the second annual Hoover Institution Library & Archives Workshop on Political Economy at Stanford University on June 24. Caldwell’s lecture focused on the life of Austrian Nobel Prize-winning economist and social theorist Friedrich Hayek — from his upbringing in Austria to his seminal work at the London School of Economics — as well as the major thematic trends of his work.

The week-long event brought together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from around the globe. According to the Hoover Institution, participants “exchanged ideas related to the history of economic though and the rise of libertarian and conservative political movements in the United States and internationally.”
