In Chapter 1, Hayek discusses several key themes of the book, including the distinction between social orders that have evolved naturally and those that are designed by humans. In Introduction, Hayek develops one of the key issues, the decline of constitutional constraints on government, and thus of limited government. Hayek suggests that readers should first read his The Constitution of Liberty before delving into the more detailed discussion in Law, Legislation and Liberty. However, the book is not an easy read, and the second volume can be particularly heavy. Hayek argues that the pursuit of social justice leads to the loss of personal freedom, and he favors a common law approach to law. The book includes critiques of legal positivism, interest-group politics, and the pursuit of social justice. It offers a diagnosis of the problems facing classical liberal social order and suggests alternatives. Law, Legislation and Liberty is a book by Hayek that was written from 1963 to 1978. Law, Legislation and Liberty is a work in three volumes by Nobel laureate economist and political philosopher Friedrich Hayek.
