Friedrich August Von Hayek (1899-1992) : Austrian-born
British economist,
Nobel prize winner in 1974. An embodiment of
right-wing liberalism.
He explicitly described any kind of
government intervention in
economy as a
Bad Thing. His central idea was that such a practice was bound to lead to
dictature, in the same way as in post-
WWI Germany. He explained this in his most famous work : the book "
The Road to Serfdom".
