‘The Political Sociology of Freedom collects a number of insightful
and finely crafted essays written by Ronald Hamowy over a period of
three decades. The collection will provide a very valuable resource
for scholars interested in Friedrich Hayek, Adam Ferguson, the
Scottish Enlightenment, the rule of law and the idea of spontaneous
order.'
*Peter McNamara, Research in the History of Economic Thought and
Methodology*
'The essays offer great value to anyone interested in the Scots or
Hayek. Hamowy is learned, insightful, and eloquent. In my opinion,
the reader may put great trust in his judgment.'
*Daniel B. Klein, Review of Austrian Economics*
'In The Political Sociology of Freedom, Ronald Hamowy demonstrates
that he is one of the leading scholars of the Scottish
Enlightenment and its project for the social sciences and political
theory.'
*Peter J. Boettke, George Mason University, US*
'Ronald Hamowy's foundational study of the Scottish Enlightenment
provides a framework for his further critical assessments of the
political and juridical contributions of F.A. Hayek, one of its
great interpreters. This collection, which shows the full range of
Hamowy's scholarship, is both timely and very welcome.'
*Bruce Caldwell, University of North Carolina, Greensboro, US*
