NewsScan Daily, 25 July 2001 ("Above the Fold")
Ronald Hilton - 7/25/01
NewsScan has posted an excellent piece on the Nobel economics laureate Friedrich August Hayek,
but it omitted one important thing. Ideologically, he and Keynes were hostile, but the LSE was
evacuated to Cambruidge during the war, and both worked together as watchers to protect the city
against Nazi raids. They became close friends, an admirable example of friendship despite
intellectual differences. When Hayek was regarded as an odd creature, he came to Stanford, and I
took him and Max Savelle, a liberal Stanford professor, to lunch. Savelle asked him "Do you take
your ideas seriously?" Hayek, a very mild man, just said "Yes."
