Send us a text Today, I am excited to host Anna Claire Flowers to discuss F. A. Hayek and the mesocosmos. The mesocosmos is a fancy way to describe all the social groupings on the spectrum between the extremes of individualism and society. Think families, neighborhoods, farmers markets, firms, and universities. We talk about the importance of characterizing this missing middle piece of social organization and how it can resolve issues than a single individual or government can. She characterizes some of the important aspects of these associations for us. We talk about the family's role in particular, and what benefits it brings to individuals and society. Anna Claire Flowers is pursuing a PhD in Economics from George Mason University. She is a PhD Fellow with the Mercatus Center and a Graduate Fellow with the F.A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics for 2024-2025.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Austrian-British economist Friedrich Hayek's The Road to Serfdom (1944) in which Hayek (1899-1992) warned that the way Britain was running its wartime economy would not work in peacetime and could lead to tyranny. His target was centralised planning, arguing this disempowered individuals and wasted their knowledge, while empowering those ill-suited to run an economy. He was concerned about the support for the perceived success of Soviet centralisation, when he saw this and Fascist systems as two sides of the same coin. When Reader's Digest selectively condensed Hayek's book in 1945, and presented it not so much as a warning against tyranny as a proof against socialism, it became phenomenally influential around the world.

Send us a textIt's often said that if you want to get to know someone, you should look through their garbage. Now, I don't recommend this method of getting to know someone (it's kind of gross). But biographers often have the luck of getting to know the people they study by looking through their stuff- that stuff not being actual garbage. For example, Bruce Caldwell spent time with Hayek's skis and botanical photographs. You might be thinking, why do I care? Why does anyone care? Hayek didn't even write about skiing or photography! That's exactly the point: the minutia of life, those characteristics that are seemingly irrelevant to the output of an academic can give insight into their uniqueness. Hayek's context, his family, and youth and involvement in certain political parties, shines a light on what, why, and how he thought, which helps us to better understand him and his ideas. Join me today in conversation with Bruce Caldwell, one of Hayek's biographers, to explore the context of Hayek and what it means to be a biographer. Caldwell is a research professor of economics at Duke where he is the Director of the Center for the History of Political Economy. He is also the co-author of the book Hayek: A Life, among other works. He also believes Santa Claus exists (stay tuned to hear why!). Want to explore more?Don Boudreaux on the Essential Hayek, a Great Antidote podcast.Bruce Caldwell on Hayek, an EconTalk podcast.Rosolino Candela, Using Reason to Understand the Abuse and Decline of Reason, an Econlib Liberty Classic.Peter Boettke, Hayek's Nobel at 50, at EconLog.Peter Boettke, Hayek's Epistemic Liberalism, in Liberty Matters at the Online Library of Liberty.Never miss another AdamSmithWorks update.Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

About the Talk In this episode of the podcast, Prof. Mark Pennington interviews Prof. Bruce Caldwell, one of the co-authors of this recently published book Hayek: A Life. Few twentieth-century figures have been lionized and vilified in such equal measure as Friedrich Hayek—economist, social theorist, leader of the Austrian school of economics, and champion of classical liberalism. Hayek's erudite arguments in support of individualism and the market economy have attracted a devout following, including many at the levers of power in business and government. Critics, meanwhile, cast Hayek as the intellectual forefather of “neoliberalism” and of all the evils they associate with that pernicious doctrine. In Hayek: A Life, historians of economics Bruce Caldwell and Hansjörg Klausinger draw on never-before-seen archival and family material to produce an authoritative account of the influential economist's first five decades. This includes portrayals of his early career in Vienna; his relationships in London and Cambridge; his family disputes; and definitive accounts of the creation of The Road to Serfdom and of the founding meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society. The Guest Bruce Caldwell is research professor of economics and the director of the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University. Professor Caldwell's research focuses on the history of economic thought, with a specific interest in the life and works of the Nobel Laureate economist and social theorist F. A. Hayek. He is the author of Hayek's Challenge: An Intellectual Biography of F. A. Hayek (2004) and since 2002 has served as the general editor of the book series The Collected Works of F.A. Hayek. In 2022 he published Mont Pelerin 1947: Transcripts of the Founding Meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society as well as Hayek: A Life, 1899-1950, the first of a two-volume biography that he is writing with Hansjoerg Klausinger. In 2019-2020 he was a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He has also held research fellowships at NYU, the LSE, and Cambridge University. At Duke he is the Director of the Center for the History of Political Economy, a center whose purpose is to promote research in, and the teaching of, the history of economic thought.

“Non esiste figura, persona, che abbia avuto un'influenza più grande sugli intellettuali al di là della cortina di ferro di Friedrich von Hayek. I suoi libri venivano tradotti clandestinamente, pubblicati sul mercato nero, letti da moltissime persone, e hanno senza ombra di dubbio influenzato quel cambiamento della mentalità generale che ha infine portato al collasso l'Unione Sovietica. - Milton Friedman a proposito di Hayek” - intervista a Think Tank, Maggio 1999“Dato che il valore della libertà risiede nelle opportunità che essa offre ad azioni impreviste e imprevedibili di verificarsi, raramente ci renderemo conto di cosa stiamo perdendo nel momento in cui una particolare libertà viene limitata.” – F. von Hayek, “Principles or Expediency?” in Toward Liberty: Essays in Honor of Ludwig von Mises on the Occasion of his 90th Birthday (29 September 1971)Premio Nobel per l'Economia nel 1974, Friedrich August von Hayek è stato uno dei grandi difensori della libertà nel Novecento.Ragazzo del '99, combatté nella prima guerra mondiale e visse sulla sua pelle l'affermarsi dei totalitarismi. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale cominciò a interrogarsi su come evitare che il secondo dopoguerra somigliasse al primo ed elaborò un complesso progetto di ricerca per rifondare il liberalismo classico. Per questo i suoi interessi cominciarono a spingersi oltre l'economia teorica, abbracciando la storia delle idee e la teoria politica. Il suo libro del 1960, "La società libera", ha aperto una nuova stagione nella storia delle idee liberali.Per Hayek, non solo il mercato, ma anche il diritto, la lingua e gran pare delle istituzioni umane non corrispondono all'esito di un progetto dei governi, ma sono in larga misura l'esito inintenzionale di azioni umane intenzionali. Centrale in Hayek è l'idea che la conoscenza è dispersa e difficilmente ‘centralizzabile' nell'economia. Per questo i tentativi di pianificazioni, anche quando ispirate dalle migliori intenzioni, tendono a ridurre la libertà e a produrre inefficienza. Hayek è stato un critico dei sistemi economici, giuridici e politici tutt'oggi prevalenti, ma anche un punto di riferimento per leader come Margaret Thatcher o Ronald Reagan.Protagonista:Lisa KinspergherOspite:Alberto Mingardi, Direttore Generale IBL e Professore di Storia delle Dottrine Politiche presso l'Università IULMConsigli di lettura-“Hayek: l'essenziale” (2017), di Donald J.

Tuesday, April 12, 2022 Hoover Institution, Stanford University   Join the Hoover Book Club for engaging discussions with leading authors on the hottest policy issues of the day. Hoover scholars explore the latest books that delve into some of the most vexing policy issues facing the United States and the world. Find out what makes these authors tick and how they think we should approach our most difficult challenges. In our latest installment, watch a discussion with Bruce Caldwell, editor of Mont Pèlerin 1947: Transcripts of the Founding Meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society, published by the Hoover Institution Press and John B. Taylor the George P. Shultz Senior Fellow in Economics at the Hoover Institution.  The discussion is moderated by Bill Whalen, the Virginia Hobbs Carpenter Distinguished Policy Fellow in Journalism, and a Hoover Institution research fellow. ABOUT THE EDITOR Bruce Caldwell was a distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution. A historian of economic thought, he is a research professor of Economics and the founder and director of the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University. His latest works is as the editor of Mont Pèlerin 1947: Transcripts of the Founding Meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society, published by the Hoover Institution Press. ABOUT THR BOOK Marking the 75th anniversary of the first meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society, in 1947, this volume presents for the first time the original transcripts from this landmark event. The society was created by Friedrich Hayek as a forum for leading economists and intellectuals to discuss and debate classical liberal values in the face of a rapidly changing world and political trends toward socialism. Bruce Caldwell, a major scholar of Hayek, provides an informative introduction and explanatory notes to the source documents, drawn from the Hoover Institution Library & Archives, where they have been available to scholars. Now accessible to all, the transcripts reveal what was said on a wide range of topics, including free markets, monetary reform, wage policy, taxation, agricultural policy, the future of Germany, Christianity, and liberalism, and more. They provide insights into the thinking of men such as Hayek, Milton Friedman, Aaron Director, Frank Knight, Walter Eucken, Karl Popper, and other leading figures in the classical liberalism movement, illuminating not only their ideas but also their distinctive personalities. A photo section shows rarely seen images from the meeting.

In season 1 (Danish) we reviewed the history of economic thought before WWII. The coming seasons are dedicated to the Nobel Prize in Economics, and I am joined by economist Otto Brøns-Petersen. The Nobel Prize is a good benchmark for how the field and profession of economics developed after WWII. We will focus both on the scientific contributions and on the people behind them. These are all star economists and worthy of your time and attention. Some will mainly feature in one episode, others in several. We therefore advice that you listen in the thematic order we propose – but it is up to you. Rest assured; we will cover all… eventually.    After some Season 2 housekeeping we will in this episode talk on the nature of the Nobel Prize in economics. We introduce the history and method behind it awarding the prize. We discuss its significance in various ways.    References:  Colander, D. (2013).

Are you wondering what the next hot opportunity in agtech is? Ponder no further. It's microbes (aka probiotics for plants). Bruce Caldwell, chemical engineer extraordinaire and founder/CEO of 3Bar Biologics, has spent the last 15 years working on technology that delivers live, viable microbes to farmers. These supercharged microbes have the ability to continuously activate based on plant needs and improve field performance better than synthetic products. Good news; he's perfected the tech and even won $250K last month during the AgSharks Pitch Competition to ramp up manufacturing. Listen as Bruce reveals the secret behind commercializing new tech platforms, the recipe for winning startup pitch competitions, and how to develop a product that is specific enough to meet the needs of individual farms but general enough to be applied to numerous operations.

Friedrich Hayek is one of the giants of 20th century economics. He did important work on everything from business cycles to psychology, earning a Nobel Prize in economics in 1974.  However, Hayek is perhaps best known for his book, The Road to Serfdom. Since its publication in 1944, many leaders and politicians have cited it as a proof that countries that experiment with socialism will inevitably end up as a totalitarian state. Duke economist Bruce Caldwell says that the book's message was much more nuanced and often misinterpreted by later generations.  He sets the record straight in the September issue of the Journal of Economic Literature by expanding on Hayek’s thinking and the intellectual climate in which Hayek was writing. Just as important, Caldwell’s research shows the importance of digging into the origins of economic debates. Caldwell recently spoke with the AEA’s Tyler Smith about the intellectual backdrop to The Road to Serfdom, the challenges of writing for a wider audience, and the history of economic ideas.   The edited highlights of that conversation are below, and the full interview can be heard using the podcast player below.

I dag er vi kommet til en af de vigtigste intellektuelle skoler både inden og uden for økonomi i det 20. århundrede: Chicago-skolen. På dansk tit kaldet monetaristerne. Jeg skriver skoler i flertal, fordi mange lider af den misforståelse, at der er tale om en fælles skole, der deler metode, interesse og mål. Det er ikke rigtigt, der er minimum tre, nok fire, og muligvis flere Chicago-skoler alt efter, hvor fint man deler kagen. Der er markante forskelle i særligt deres fokus og metode valg, og det er noget af det, som vi skal tale om i dag. Store tænkere som Friedman, Becker og Knight vil blive omtalt, og det er intellektuelt imponerende stof, da det økonomiske fakultet på University of Chicago kan bryste sig med 13 nobelpriser!

De fleste gennemgange af økonomiens teorihistorie slutter med Keynes' død. Det gør vores også. Næsten. Vi tager også et temaafsnit om Chicago-økonomerne. Inden vi kommer så langt, vil jeg i dagens afsnit lave et lille eksperiment. Jeg vil komme med et meget kort overslag over nogle af de vigtige teoretiske udviklinger indenfor økonomi fra 1946 og frem til nu. Det er et eksperiment, fordi jeg udelukkende bruger min egen hukommelse med en forudsætning om, at jeg må have huske noget af det væsentligste. Der er sikkert meget, der er glemt, men i hvert fald kommer vi igennem as-if-economics, adfærdsøkonomi, eksperimenter, entreprenørens genfødsel og meget mere. Der er sikkert noget, som jeg har glemt, men så vil det med garanti blive dækket i næste sæson, hvor jeg og min nye medvært Otto Brøns vil tale om alle nobelprismodtagerne i rækkefølge. Glæd dig!

I dagens afsnit dykker vi ned i tre vigtige figurer for moderne økonomiske skoler. Vi starter med Alfred Marshall. Han vil nok frabede sig titlen som grundlægger, men hans fænomenale lærebog ”Principles of Economics” var i omkring 100 år den fremmeste økonomitekst og er stadig værd at læse.  Vi tager også fat i Thorstein Veblen. Han grundlægger, hvad vi kender som institutionel økonomi, en særlig amerikansk tradition som er den første selvstændige amerikanske udvikling indenfor økonomien. I dag er USA det vigtigste sted for økonomisk videnskab. Det er en spændende tradition, da den er anti-marxistisk, men også meget kritisk overfor kapitalismen. Endelig skal vi også høre om faderen til evolutionær økonomi, Joseph Schumpeter. Han er i dag særligt kendt for sine teorier om kreativ destruktion som er et nærmest religiøst mantra, når man taler om innovation, hvad mange jo heldigvis gør meget i dag. Til dagens afsnit har jeg læst: Alfred Marshall, The Principles of Economics, 8th ed.

I den fortæller jeg lidt om, hvad der menes med skoler indenfor økonomisk tænkning.  Herefter skal vi til et af de øjeblikke, som videnskabshistorikere finder ekstra spændende. Nemlig et teoretisk undfangelsesøjeblik. Et tidspunkt hvor en stor og varig indsigt om verden gøres. En indsigt som har enorme intellektuelle konsekvenser. I dette tilfælde; marginalnytte revolutionen.  Marginalnytte revolutionen handler om, at selvom noget koster det samme, så er værdien ikke ens. Er jeg tørstig, har det stor værdi for mig at slukke min tørst, og jeg køber måske en flaske vand. Men når jeg først har fået slukket tørsten, så er en flaske med samme tørstslukkende indhold pludselig ikke meget værd for mig. Det er marginal nytte og subjektiv værdilære. Det der er særligt spændende ved denne indsigt er, at den gøres samtidigt, men uafhængigt af tre forskellige økonomer, og dem vil jeg fortælle dig om. Jeg vil fortælle dig om Carl Menger som grundlægger den østrigske skole og dens berømte Methodenstreit.Franskmanden Léon Walras som inspirerer til velfærdsøkonomi og William Stanley Jevons der ligeledes bliver instrumental i, hvad der i dag kendes som mikroøkonomi.

En fløj hylder vækst og materielle muligheder. De fremhæver, at markedet ikke bare giver os flere ting, det skaber også fred og fritid. Overfor dem står skeptikerne som er bekymret for ulighed, ressourceforbrug og, at vi mister vores inderlighed i jagten på den næste materielle ting i vores liv. Den debat er ikke ny. Det er Den Store Moderne Debat i økonomiens teorihistorie, og i sæsonens fjerde afsnit viser jeg dens rødder ved at tale om Voltaire og Rousseau. Herfra fortsætter jeg med at vise debatten eksemplificeret i to repræsentanter for den klassiske skole. Den ene, Malthus, anerkender kapitalismens innovative kraft men er bekymret for, at den ikke hurtigt nok får os ud af en mangel på ressourcer. Den anden, Ricardo, viser os at der er fælles fordele i, at lande og virksomheder specialiserer sig og handler med hinanden, da effekten af markedet er større end summen af dets dele.   I den humoristiske ende tager jeg min misudtalelse af navne til nye højder, når jeg i kampens hede flere gange udtaler Rousseau som rosé. Glæd dig til at grine over det.   Til dagens afsnit har jeg læst: Hirschman, A. O.

Har du nogensinde tænkt over, hvad økonomi er for en videnskab? Hvordan opstod den, og hvem var dens grundlæggere? Eller har du interesseret dig for moderne diskussioner om samfundet, herunder ulighed, ressourceforbrug eller konkurrence? Hvis dette er tilfældet, er økonomiens teorihistorie vigtig og nyttig for dig. Den type af diskussioner er nemlig mindst lige så gammel som den økonomiske videnskab selv, og du vil i dens rødder også finde rødderne til de moderne argumenter. I sæsonens tredje afsnit møder vi Adam Smith. Han ses af mange som skaberen bag moderne økonomisk videnskab med hans store værk om årsagerne til nationers velstand. Men det er ikke søgen efter rigdom der motiverer Smiths tænkning. Det er derimod moral. Jeg vil i dagens afsnit fremlægge, hvordan det hænger sammen. Vi skal også tale om, hvilken person Smith var og om nogle af hans vigtige teoretiske bidrag. Til dagens afsnit har jeg læst: Aquinas, T. (2013). Summa Theologica. In S. Medema, & W. Samuels, The History of Economic Thought (pp. 18-27). New York: Routledge. Smith, A. (1766). The Theory of Moral Sentiments. Smith, A.

Den type af diskussioner er nemlig mindst lige så gammel som den økonomiske videnskab selv, og du vil i dens rødder også finde rødderne til de moderne argumenter. I sæsonens andet afsnit gennemgår jeg de to grundlæggende europæiske traditioner som har formet den intellektuelle verden, hvori den økonomiske videnskab opstod – den klassiske og den kristne. Herefter gennemgår jeg de økonomiske skolastikere samt deres fokus på, at økonomien skulle skabe stabilitet i samfundet og fremme frelsen. Heraf opstod nationalstaterne og særinteresserne som finder deres intellektuelle udtryk hos merkantilisterne fra år 1600 og frem. Jeg fokuserer på de franske og de engelske varianter af merkantilismen, men jeg tager også et hurtigt kig på dansk merkantilisme. Vi slutter af med den første selvbevidste økonomiske skole, fysiokraterne.   Du vil opdage, at handelskrig er et gammelt og skadeligt middel samt, at ideen ”pick the winners” reflektererkortsigtede særinteressers sejr over det fælles bedste på længere sigt. Du vil også opdage, at rigdom ikke blot handler om at have mange penge.    Til dagens afsnit har jeg læst: Aquinas, T. (2013). Summa Theologica. In S. Medema, & W.

ERRATUM: At one point late in the episode, Scott mentions a postcard that Keynes sent to Hayek, in which the former praised the latter's famous Road to Serfdom. In fact, it was a letter, not a postcard that Keynes sent to Hayek.
