Friedrich Hayek was a founding figure of the neo-liberalism that
flourished in the 1980s. Yet, despite his antagonistic relationship
with socialism, his work became a surprising source of inspiration
for several influential thinkers on the left. This book explains
the left's unusual engagement with Hayek and reflects on its
significance. Engaging Enemies uses the left's late discovery of
Hayek to examine the contemporary fate of socialism and social
democracy. Did socialism survive the twentieth century? Did it
collapse with the fall of the Berlin Wall as Hayek claimed? Or did
it transform into something else, and if so what? In turn this
allows an examination of ideological and historical continuity. Was
the left's engagement with Hayek part of a wider break with a
period of ideological continuity that marked the twentieth century,
but which did not survive its ending? As such, the book is also a
study of how ideologies change with the times, incorporating new
elements and jettisoning others. The left's engagement with Hayek
was also influential on party politics, particularly on the
'modernization' of the Labour Party and the development of New
Labour. Engaging Enemies concludes with a discussion of the wider
role of the market for the left today and the contemporary
significance of the engagement with Hayek for Labour in the wake of
the 2008 economic crisis.
