 FRIEDRICH A. HAYEK
Hayek soon came to be a vigorous participant in the debates that raged in England during the 1930s concerning monetary, capital, and business-cycle theories and was a major figure in the celebrated controversies with John Maynard Keynes, Piero Sraffa, and Frank H. Knight.
Hayek integrated his own developments in these fields into a cohesive account of a market process that tends towards intertemporal coordination and of central-bank policies that can interfere with that process in such a way as to cause artificial economic booms which are inevitably followed by economic busts.
Hayek does doubt that a gold standard would re-emerge as result of the competitive process, largely because the confidence and stability of gold was based upon beliefs and attitudes on the part of the public that no longer exist and cannot easily be recreated.

 FRIEDRICH AUGUSTUS HAYEK   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Hayek’s interests were by now turning from economics to wider questions of human life: the processes of mind and perception (The Sensory Order, 1952), and the relation of individual minds to social order and constitutional issues (The Constitution of Liberty, 1960).
Hayek’s profound distrust of government involvement in the economy might lead one to imagine that he would support the privatisation of education, but there is no evidence in his account of his education at the University of Vienna that he believed it would have been more effective as a private institution.
Hayek’s opposition to the narrow education of the Ecole Polytechnique indicates that, whatever the cost, quality education is essential to the continued liberal project, even in its neo-liberal form.

 Friedrich A. Hayek
Hayek thus shared with Hume a profound conviction that we should be "sensible of our ignorance." Hayek also shared with Hume the conviction that the "foundation of the inference" to propositions of ethics or politics was not necessarily available to us.
Hayek's theory in that respect, however, reflected Karl Popper's view that propositions of ethics or politics can be tested with the same mechanism of falsification used by scientific method.
Hayek's personal and professional relationship with Popper, whom he helped in his career, was somewhat ironic considering that Hayek was a cousin of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), with whom Popper disagreed on almost every conceivable philosophical issue.

From the 1920s until the '40s, Hayek and his countryman Ludwig von Mises argued that socialism was bound to fail as an economic system because only free markets--powered by individuals wheeling and dealing in their own interest--could generate the information necessary to intelligently coordinate social behavior.
Hayek: By drawing people into jobs which exist only because the relative demand for the particular things is temporarily increased, and these employments must disappear as soon as the increase in the quantity of money ceases.
Hayek: No. My only hope really is that some minor country or countries which for different reasons will have to construct a new constitution will do so along sensible lines and will be so successful that the others find it in their interest to imitate it.

 Friedrich A. Hayek (1899-1992)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Hayek was convinced that the essential point to convey to Keynes and the rest of the economics profession concerning monetary policy lay in capital theory.
Not only had Hayek appeared to lose the technical economic debate with Keynes and the Keynesians concerning the causes of business cycles but, in view of the rising tide of socialism throughout the world, his general philosophical perspective was increasingly labeled as a primitive version of liberalism.
Hayek's work in technical economics, political and legal philosophy, and methodology of the social sciences has attracted great interest among scholars of at least two generations, and interest in his work is growing.

 FRIEDRICH AUGUST VON HAYEK
At the L.S.E., Hayek was instrumental in furthering its then-novel "continental" bent and he was highly influential on his junior colleagues (such as Hicks) and students (which included Lerner and Kaldor).
In Hayek's words, the "fatal conceit" of the Oskar Lange and other "Socialists" in the calculation debate was that they believed this order could be "designed" by a planner who just gets the prices right, without realising that a price system evolved spontaneously as a result of lack of knowledge.
In tackling the evolution of political, social, legal and economic institutions, Hayek is rightly conceived as one of the founding fathers of "evolutionary economics".

 HUMAN IGNORANCE AND SOCIAL ENGINEERING
Both Hayek and Mises had witnessed the devastation of classical liberalism which had been brought on by two world wars, but most particularly by World War I. Wartime governments had clamped a centralized control over the private sector in order to ensure a continuing flow of armaments and the other goods deemed necessary for victory.
In Hayek's words, it is the sort of order "whose justification in the particular instant may not be recognizable, and which will...often appear unintelligible and irrational."(5) Ironically, this resemblance to chaos may be an aspect of why spontaneous order is efficient.
Hayek and Mises believed that society is an abstraction that expresses nothing more than the sum of the complex interactions of individuals.

 Amazon.com: The Constitution of Liberty: Books: F. A. Hayek   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Hayek is a Republican in the sense of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Goldwater, and hardly a disciple of Libertarian reductionism to a single rule that is inherently circular and contradictory!
Hayek, mentions this fact as a footnote in chapter 17 of his classic book, "The Constitution of Liberty" published in 1960, as evidence of the disillusionment of socialist intellectuals, when they were confronted with the observation that individualism and socialism were mutually exclusive.
Hayek implies that his own position has no place in the councils of the high and mighty, but there is plenty of support for his view that the future is easily diminished by the system of financing which is being relied on to provide the benefits of such institutions.

Hayek's writings are not always easy to follow--he describes himself as "puzzler" or "muddler" rather than a "master of his subject"--and this may have contributed to the variety of interpretations his work has aroused.

 Hayek
Hayek had been influenced by Fabian socialism and the work of Sydney and Beatrice Webb when he was young, but his attention was soon absorbed by economic liberalism.

A renewed interest in Hayek's liberalism developed in the 1970s-80s, and his economics again came to the fore in the 1990s with the end of the Keynesian ascendancy and the realisation that Hayek's work offered insights into economic co-ordination yet to be exceeded.

 Friedrich von Hayek - Liberal Thinkers - Liberalism
Friedrich August von Hayek´s role in the late 20th century collapse of socialism can be compared to the role Adam Smith played in 18th century enlightenment with respect to the creative power of freedom and the market economy.
Correspondingly, Hayek´s outstanding share in the global triumph of the idea and order of freedom made him enemy No. 1 of the socialists and other collectivists in all parties.
Today among Hayek´s most important theoretical contributions to social philosophy, complex processes of spontaneous order, or even neurobiology is his work on the information problem in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises, and on the use and limits of knowledge.

Hayek demonstrates the inability of planned economies to rationally allocate resources where there is fundamental disagreements among members of society in matters of religious or moral beliefs, taste, or ethical codes.
Hayek identifies several areas were govenmental controls are beneficial, for example in controlling the pollution from factories, John Maynard Keynes critized the work as inconsistant, suggesting that Hayek's allowance for any government intervention would place it on the slippery slope towards the road to serfdom.

 Jason Steorts on Bruce Caldwell's Hayek's Challenge on National Review Online
Hayek's Challenge is a success, and Caldwell proves himself capable of presenting Hayek's ideas — in all fields — with both depth and clarity.
Hayek, like many of his peers (and the Austrians in particular), was also inclined toward skepticism of the elusive, perfectly rational homo economicus.
According to Caldwell, Hayek's main message concerned "the limits that we face as analysts of social phenomena." In this vein, Caldwell ends with a plea for a renewed interest in the study of economic history — a field that has been almost entirely displaced by economists' ever-increasing interest in mathematical models and empirical analysis.
