F. A. Hayek was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1974. The press release announcing this award recognised that ‘Hayek’s contributions in the field of economic theory are both profound and original.
The influence of Hayek “The Results of Human Action but not of Human Design” on Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
is legendary. In both
The Path to Power and The Downing Street Years Lady Thatcher
acknowledged the influence of Hayek on her view of the world.

There
is also evidence of his influence on her
policy decisions. Once
during a party policy meeting a speaker
started to argue that
the Conservative Party should adopt a
pragmatic middle way.
According to John Ranelagh in Thatcher’s
People, ‘Before he had
finished speaking … the new Party Leader
reached into her
briefcase and took out a book. It was Friedrich
von Hayek’s The
Constitution of Liberty. Interrupting, she held the
book up for all of us to
see. “This,” she said sternly, “is what we
believe,” and banged
Hayek down on the table.’
But The Constitution of Liberty is not a narrowly conceived
party tract. It favours
no party, except perhaps for ‘the party of
life, the party that
favors free growth and spontaneous evolution’,
which Hayek evokes in
his postscript. Rather, The Constitution
of Liberty is the
culmination of four decades of reflection on the
nature of economic,
political and social life and the possibility of
a free society
