F.A. von Hayek (1899-1992) was a Nobel Prize winning economist, famous for promoting an Austrian version of classical liberalism. The multi-volume Hayek: A Collaborative Biography examines the evolution of his life and influence. Two concepts of civilization revolve around power â should it be separated or concentrated? Liberalism in the non-Austrian classical tradition remains fearful of power concentrated in the hands of government, labour unions or corporations; Red Terrorists sought to monopolize power to liquidate enemies and competitors as a prelude to utopia (the âwithering away of the Stateâ); and behind the âslogan of liberty,â White Terror promoters (Mises and Hayek) sought to concentrate power in the hands of a âdictatorial democracyâ where henchmen would liquidate enemies, and â âguidedâ by âutopiaâ (the âspontaneousâ order) â follow orders from their social superiors. This volume, Part XII, examines the âfreeâ market Use of Knowledge in Society; examines the foundations of âfreeâ market educational credentials; and asks whether those funded by the tobacco industry and the carbon lobby should be accorded âindependent policy expertâ status.  |
