Scholars within the Hayekian-Austrian tradition of classical
liberalism have done virtually no work on the family as an economic
and social institution. In addition, there is a real paucity of
scholarship on the place of the family within classical liberal and
libertarian political philosophy. Hayek's Modern Family offers a
classical liberal theory of the family, taking Hayekian social
theory as the main analytical framework. Horwitz argues that
families are social institutions that perform certain irreplaceable
functions in society. These functions change as economic,
political, and social circumstances change, and the family form
adapts accordingly, kicking off the next wave of developments in
the social structure. In Hayekian terms, the family is an evolving
and undesigned social institution. Horwitz offers a
non-conservative defense of the family as a social institution
against the view that either the state or "the village" is able or
required to take over its irreplaceable functions.
