FURTHER READING
“Friedrich August von Hayek (1899-1992) was a political economist who had a tremendous influence upon how people in capitalist societies understand the concept of liberty. Controversially, for Hayek ‘liberty’ did not mean democracy or a commitment to a set of ‘liberal’ ideals. Rather, Hayek believed that liberty was ‘a policy which deliberately adopts competition, markets and prices as its ordering principles’……”

broadly acurate but in 7:21 they said hayek was confortable with dictatorships who apply free market ideas; i have read road to serfdom and most of his work and i have never found a point like that; sure his skepctical of democracy but in his work there is no endorsment of dictators like pinochet
Political Theory – Julius Evola
The phrase “Authoritarian government” is redundant.
It’s ironic that people were complaining about government after the recession when the very issues that resulted in the recession was a lack of government and deregulation.
What did he think was the solution for massive corporations rigging economic markets though? Yes the market can fix itself without government interference, but it also requires no interference by the biggest players in the market.
Amazing how so much of Hayeks video is dedicated to Keynes.
2008 would’ve been horrible under a restrained monetary system, do people realize that inflation is necessary in a crisis
“Central planning leads to a single individual”
Wat.
At “line of scholars” why a random picture of President Franklin Pierce for an Austrian…?
Anyone who says that someone else does not understand economics because they believe in a different school of economics is a complete retard.
Singapur tuvo una dictadura el dictador fue quien enfocó la nación hacia la riqueza
Love how philosophers think they know more about economics than economist. XD
I would be thrilled to see a ‘School of Life’ video on ‘Neo-Liberalism’ ! Any chance?
Lot of Ad Hominem remarks, straw man arguments, visceral hate and ignorance in the comment section. Kudos School of Life for trying to give an honest account of the life and work of someone probably not one of you agree with in any way.
Alguien podría decirme con qué programa se realizan este tipo de ediciones?
hayek has some interesting ideas but reguarding dictatorship the only issue is that autocrats have too many incentives to interfere with the market so they can give more resources to their political supporters otherwise they face being deposed by potential dictators who will. this is also an issue with democracy as the party that appears to do something will gain more support than the party that does nothing even if doing nothing is the best corse of action.
What’s with the Murray Rothbard picture at 3:19?
10:46 are Macri’s economic policies based on neoliberal free market ideas, or rather in keynesian economics?
