10. F. A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1944),
3. For the reception of Road to Serfdom, see Alan Ebenstein, Friedrich Hayek (Chicago:
University of Chicago Press, 2001). Hayek’s career and thought are described in Bruce
Caldwell, Hayek’s Challenge: An Intellectual Biography of F. A. Hayek (Chicago: University
of Chicago Press, 2003).
11. It is hard to exaggerate the institutional centrality of the University of Chicago
to diverse strains of conservative thought. The Volker Fund also helped sponsor the
nascent law and economics movement at Chicago. See Steven Michael Teles, The Rise
of the Conservative Legal Movement: The Battle for Control of the Law (Princeton, NJ:
Princeton University Press, 2008), chapter 4. Other activity at Chicago is described in
Eow, “Fighting a New Deal”; John L. Kelley, Bringing the Market Back In: The Political
Revitalization of Market Liberalism (London: Macmillan, 1987). The university was also
home to the political philosopher Leo Strauss, an important infl uence on neoconservatives.
See Shadia B. Drury, Leo Strauss and the American Right (New York: St. Martin’s
Press, 1997).
12. AR to Rose Wilder Lane, August 21, 1946, Letters, 308.
13. Juliet Williams argues that Hayek was more a pragmatist than an ideologue; see
“On the Road Again: Reconsidering the Political Writings of F. A. Hayek,” in American
Capitalism: Social Thought and Political Economy in 20th Century America, ed. Nelson
Lichtenstein (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2006).
14. Ayn Rand, Ayn Rand’s Marginalia: Her Critical Comments on the Writings of Over
20 Authors, ed. Robert Mayhew (Oceanside, CA: Second Renaissance Books, 1995), 151,
147, 150.
15. Angus Burgin, “Unintended Consequences: The Transformation of Atlantic
Conservative Thought, 1920–1970,” PhD diss., Harvard University, forthcoming; Rand,
Marginalia, 146.
16. Though essentially agnostic, Hayek was sympathetic to Catholicism, the
religion of his birth. His views on religion were both ambivalent and closely held,
for he wished to avoid offense to believers and found religion culturally useful. See
Stephen Kresge and Leif Wenar, eds., Hayek on Hayek: An Autobiographical Dialogue
(Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1994), 41; Rand, Marginalia, 148. Hayek apparently
liked Atlas Shrugged but skipped the philosophical parts. Roy Childs, Liberty
against Power: Essays by Roy Childs, Jr., ed. Joan Kennedy Taylor (San Francisco: Fox
and Wilkes, 1994), 272.
17. AR to Leonard Read, February 28, 1946, Letters, 260; Jörg Guido Hulsmann, Mises:
The Last Knight of Liberalism (Auburn, AL: Ludwig Von Mises Institute Press, 2007).
I discuss Rand’s relationship with Mises more fully in the next chapter.
18. Journals, 245, 258.
19. Barbara Branden, The Passion of Ayn Rand (Garden City, NY: Doubleday and
Company, 1986), 218.
20. “A Steel House with a Suave Finish,” Home and Garden, August 1949, 54–57.
21. My description of the O’Connors’ domestic life is taken from the oral histories
cited, particularly Ruth Beebe Hill and June Kurisu, Rand’s secretary.
22. Evan and Micky Wright, Oral History, ARP; Jack Bungay, Oral History, ARP.
