Honoree's Remarks
In 2023, almost 8 decades since Hayek's work was published in the twilight of World War II, there is growing interest in the seductive but false notion that security can be gained by giving up human rights. As Hayek states, "when security is understood in too absolute a sense, the general striving for it, far from increasing the chances of freedom, becomes the gravest threat to it." The Road to Serfdom provides thoughtful insights on the threats to freedom that I believe everyone should read.
