Series Statement:
Hayek: a collaborative biography / ed. by Robert Leeson part 11
Content:
Funded by the tobacco and fossil fuel industries, the Mises- and Hayek-inspired "free" market has adopted "The Slogan of Liberty" - but should their faith-based assertions be accorded the same epistemological status as a science? If Austrian economics is a branch of divinely revealed "knowledge" - as the epigone Godfather, Hans Sennholz, insists - what validity do its policy recommendations have? Should those who falsely claim to have PhDs be tax-funded as "Post-Doctoral Fellows" and "Professors"? This volume examines the consequences of the ‘free’ market colonisation of economics - climate change, financial crises and the corruption of academic discourse.
