Comparing the Work of Economists
Keynes, Hayek, & Friedman on Lectures in History
Watch: 8 pm
and 11 pm ET Saturday
|
|
|
|
University of
California Santa Barbara economics professor Lanny
Ebenstein taught a class comparing the work of John Maynard
Keynes, Friedrich Hayek, and Milton
Friedman. He drew on examples from capitalistic and
socialist economies and argued that while all three 20th century
economists were important, Friedrich Hayek was the most impactful.
|
|
|
|
|
"Today we tend to
think of a socialist as someone like Bernie Sanders . . . That
really wasn't Hayek's definition of government . . . What he meant
by socialism was the type of economic system that existed in the
Soviet Union, where government ran the whole economy and made all
of the economic decisions."
