The fourth volume of the Archival Insights into the Evolution of Economics series will be on The Hayekian Tradition. 

(The first three volumes:

The Keynesian Tradition (2008). Palgrave Macmillan. http://us.macmillan.com/thekeynesiantradition

The Anti-Keynesian Tradition (2008). Palgrave Macmillan. http://us.macmillan.com/theantikeynesiantradition

American Power and Policy (2009) Palgrave Macmillan. http://us.macmillan.com/americanpowerandpolicy)

I would like to hear from those who are working, or have worked, on Hayek archival material. 

I would also like to hear suggestions about who should be commissioned to write chapters.

Does anybody have information about Hayek's first paper: 

"I think the first paper I ever wrote--never published, and I haven't even got a copy--was on a thing which had already occurred to me in the last few days in the army, suggesting that you might have a double government, a cultural and an economic government. I played for a time with this idea in the hope of resolving the conflict between nationalities in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I did see the benefits of common economic government. On the other hand, I was very much aware of all the conflicts about education and similar problems. And I thought it might be possible in governmental functions to separate the two things--let the nationalities have their own cultural arrangements and yet let the central government provide the framework of a common economic system. That was, I think, the first thing I put on paper."
