Friedrich Hayek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Friedrich August von Hayek (May 8, 1899 in Vienna - March 23, 1992 in Freiburg) was an Austrian economist and political philosopher, noted for his defense of liberal democracy and free-market capitalism against socialist and collectivist thought in the mid-20th century. Widely regarded as one of the most influential members of the Austrian School of economics, he also made significant contributions in the fields of jurisprudence and cognitive science. He shared the 1974 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics with ideological rival Gunnar Myrdal and in 1991 he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the two highest civilian awards in the United States, 'for a lifetime of looking beyond the horizon'. ..."

F.A. Hayek, R.I.P., by Ralph Raico, Mar 1992
"The award to him of the Nobel Prize in Economic Science, in 1974, was ... a fitting tribute to Hayek's accomplishments and a welcome sign of the esteem in which he came to be held by knowledgeable people throughout the scholarly world. But ... Hayek exerted a direct influence on the larger educated public as well."

"The Road to Serfdom ... forced advocates of socialism to confront an additional problem, over and beyond the technical economic one. If socialism required the replacement of the market with a central plan, then, Hayek pointed out, an institution must be established that would be responsible for formulating this plan."

"Building on the work of ... Ludwig von Mises, and combining a respect for inherited wisdom with an understanding that freedom is fundamentally disruptive, Hayek showed that the uncoordinated actions of individuals generate wonders ... that the deliberate designs of central planners never could."
