The meaning of his life and contributions.

Hayek on Politics and the State.

In this year of Millennium Lists ("Best Ten Songs of the Millennium," etc.), the Wall Street Journal tried its hand at the ten economists--whom it called the "best and brightest"--who have "made a difference" in the last thousand years. Of course, the big problem in twentieth-century intellectual history is that the "best and the brightest" were not the ones who "made a difference." While the list did contain some names to cheer (Aquinas, Hayek, and Schumpeter) it also had plenty to boo (Marx, Keynes, and Veblen).
