No 8: 2 Hayeks



2 FAMOUS people with the surname "Hayek".
One a Nobel prize winner, and passionate defender of the free market, not only for its ability to create wealth, but as a defence against evil government control of society. These ideas are summarised in this Hayek's book "The Road to Serfdom" (published 1944) which you can see here in the form of a cartoon:

(No Nobel prize yet for the other Hayek but she did win the 1998 MTV Movie Award for best teenage date movie.)

Other famous free market economists apart from Friedrich (not Salma) Hayek are Ludwig von Mises, Gary Becker and Milton Friedman. I'll try to post about some of them at a later date.
