First edition of Hayek's first book, famously stating that there is a business cycle and that it is caused by the organization of the monetary system - it was later to be known as the Austrian Business Cycle. The present work established Hayek's ideological position within the economic community and laid the foundation for his future career. Here, he wrote of the necessity of the trade cycle and that all economic phenomena present that regular wave-like appearance that we observe in cyclical fluctuations. ""For Hayek, the cycle was a virtually unavoidable consequence of a credit economy"""" ""Hayek's fundamental point is that the business cycle is an unfortunate but unavoidable concomitant of a credit economy"". (Bruce Caldwell, Hayek's Collected Works).Hayek's principal investigations in economics concerned capital, money and the business cycle. Ludwig von Mises had earlier applied the concept of marginal utility to the value of money in his Theory of Money and Credit (1912) in which he also proposed an explanation for ""industrial fluctuations"" based on the ideas of the old British Currency School and of Swedish economist Knut Wicksell. Hayek used this body of work as a starting point for his own interpretation of the business cycle, elaborating what later became known as the Austrian theory of the business cycle.This work was translated into English in 1933 as Monetary Theory and the Trade Cycle. In 1974 Hayek shared the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics with Gunnar Myrdal.Masui p.1277 Cohen 184

Offprint of Hayek influential paper on durable and non-durable goods presented as a Critique of the Crises-Theory of W.T. Foster and W. Catchings with some Remarks on the Theory of the Relationship between Money and Capital.Widely publicized in the United States at the timewere proposals by Foster and Catchings which Hayek has described asvariations on 'underconsumption' theories of economic cycles. Hayekargued against such theories in his initial lectures as a Privatdozent in Vienna: ""His published essay ""Gibt es einen Widersinn desSparens?"" (1929) (later translated into English as ""The Paradox of Saving"") came to the attention of Lionel (later Lord) Robbins, whoinvited Hayek to give a series of lectures at the London School of Economics. So successful were the lectures, and the ensuingpartnership with Robbins, that Hayek remained in England to becomethe Tooke professor at the LSE."" (Kresge, Hayek on Hayek, P. 8)""This state of affairs, however, may yet be endangered by a new theory of under-consumption now current in the United States and in England. Its authors are people who spare neither money nor time in the propagation of their ideas. Their doctrine is no less fallacious than all the previous theories of under- consumption, but it is not impossible that with able exposition and extensive financial backing it may exert a certain influence on policy in Anglo-Saxon countries. For this 'reason it seems worthwhile subjecting this theory to detailed and exhaustive criticism."" (The present paper).

Ce manifeste libéral dénonçant les totalitarismes du XXe siècle connaîtra un succès considérable. Selon Friedrich A. Hayek il n'y a pas de différence de nature entre hitlérisme et stalinisme et il n'y a qu'une simple différence de degré entre la social-démocratie, le socialisme et le communisme, car toutes ces idéologies portent en elles une menace envers les libertés individuelles et publiques. "Si nous voulons construire un monde meilleur, nous devons trouver le courage de prendre un départ nouveau même si cela signifie reculer pour mieux sauter" conclut-il. Il nous faut donc abandonner "la route de la servitude", dénoncée dans l'ouvrage et s'engager sur celle de la liberté. Voir le sommaire sur photos jointes.
