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 – 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 ‘withering away of the
State’); and behind the ‘slogan of liberty,’ White Terror
promoters (Mises and Hayek) sought to concentrate power in the hands
of a ‘dictatorial democracy’ where henchmen would liquidate
enemies, and – ‘guided’ by ‘utopia’ (the ‘spontaneous’
order) – follow orders from their social superiors. This volume,
Part XII, examines the ‘free’ market Use of Knowledge in Society;
examines the foundations of ‘free’ market educational credentials;
and asks whether those funded by the tobacco industry and the carbon
lobby should be accorded ‘independent policy expert’ status.
