Anglo-Austrian economist and philosopher Friedrich August von Hayek was awarded the 1974 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with Gunnar Myrdal for his "pioneering work in the theory of money and economic fluctuations and [...] penetrating analysis of the interdependence of economic, social and institutional phenomena". He was additionally appointed a Companion of Honour in 1984 for "services to the study of economics" in 1984 and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1991 from President George H. W. Bush. Hayek composed the most influential and popular exposition of classical liberalism in 1944. In The Road to Serdom, Hayek deviated from the contemporary British academy which saw fascism as a capitalist reaction against socialism. He argued instead that fascism and socialism result from central economic planning and the power of the state over the individual. He further developed these philosophical principles in Law, Legislation and Liberty (widely considered his magnum opus) and, later, The Constitution of Liberty.
