I reviewed Quinn Slobodian's new book Hayek's Bastards. The review is forthcoming in the European Journal for the History of Economic Thought, sharing a preprint here.
The book gives us lots to chew on, but the Bastards from the title remains ambiguous, and that matters a lot for the argument.

Ed notes that the topic touches on many longstanding questions in economics-- how well do decentralization markets do? What if there are no prices?
Nuts-and-bolts of design and stories of what happened are important too,
