Friedrich August Hayek was a brilliant proponent of classical liberalism and a mortal enemy of centralized economics. He earned the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1974, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1991, and sold more than two million copies of his seminal work, The Road to Serfdom. I thought I’d share three of my favorite Hayek quotes:
“The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.”
“Even the striving for equality by means of a directed economy can result only in an officially enforced inequality – an authoritarian determination of the status of each individual in the new hierarchical order.”
“I think it’s nice for women to try to be sexy for their man.”
Wait … I’ve been advised that the last quote is from Salma Hayek.
Eh, I admire her work as well.
