The Fatal Conceit by F. A. Hayek

Morton's review:

The Fatal Conceit

The other Hayek book I specially recommend is The Fatal Conceit.  Hayek packed this extraordinary book, published posthumously, with the wisdom he developed in a lifetime of brilliant thought.  Here, for example, he warns against the intellectuals' impulse to redesign what they never could have designed in the first place:  our civilization.
