UPDATE - Fraser Institute Media Advisory: New Book About the Theories and Insights of Nobel Laureate Economist F.A. Hayek Coming Monday, June 15

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 12, 2015) -

Editor's Note: An incorrect version of this release was published earlier today.

On Monday, June 15, the Fraser Institute will officially release a new book making the theories and writings of influential 20^th century economist F.A. Hayek accessible to a new generation of readers.

Written by Donald J. Boudreaux, economics professor at George Mason University and Fraser Institute senior fellow, The Essential Hayek explains - in plain language - Professor Hayek's 10 most profound ideas and insights into the economy and society.

Unlike the other two economic giants of the 20^th Century, Milton Friedman and John Maynard Keynes, F.A. Hayek did very little to make his work accessible to average citizens. The book, along with a dedicated website and series of videos, aims to rectify this and present Hayek's work in an easy-to-understand format.

A news release with additional information will be issued via Marketwired at 5:30 a.m. (Eastern) on June 15.
