HoPE notes: June 12 I

Hayek, Bruce
Readings about the Austrians; Bruce's 'Hayek's Challenge', the first third of the book is basically a history of the Austrian School.
At Chicago 1950-62, was on the committee of social thought.
Mirowski, the lost knowledge of information; book, see Bruce's review. https://www.amazon.com/Knowledge-Have-Lost-Information-Economics-ebook/dp/B072JBKQBR
1945 piece: he had been talking about this idea for a while and had written about it before around 1930, e.g. in the liberal review. 
Hayek contra to many other economists is still very widely read. In part because of his political theory/philosophy, where he published in quite widely. Also, on the philosophy of economic science, etc.
Two great pieces on political theory/philosophy: "Individualism: True or False?", "Why I'm not a Conservative". Daniel asked examples of current conservatives by Hayek's definition; Bruce & Laura say the guy who wrote "Why Liberalism Failed" by Deneen.
Parallels between evolutionary theory and economic theory. Even if we know the basic tenets of evolutionary theory, we can't predict well how we will evolve. This is because we don't see all the factors that affect it. How does this track to economics. E.g. for economics think about innovation and how the structure of society changes which is outside the model, but fundamentally alters the reality that the model attempts to describe.
Hayek reading on his philosophy of science/economics: "the market and other orders" in the collected works, edited by Bruce.
"Constitution of Liberty" 1960. Liberty in part informed by his view of the ability of people to use their different sets of knowledge.
