| Department: | Economics |
| Description: | F.A. Hayek was one of the most important, but polarizing, economists of the 20th century. He was one of the most prominent and respected thinkers of the first half of the 20th century but then fell into obscurity, only to return to a position of eminence after winning the Nobel Prize in 1974. Hayek started his career as a technical economist, but his work spread to political theory and even the ethics of a free and liberal society. This seminar will contextualize the evolution of Hayekian thought through selected readings of Hayek, as well as modern interpretations of Hayekian ideas, in order to illustrate Hayek's continuing relevance today as an important economist and political theorist. These readings will cover his work on capital theory, business cycles, monetary theory, the role of knowledge in socialism and the price system, and the institutions of a liberal society. In addition, we will learn about? Hayek's famous and important debates with John Maynard Keynes. |
