Friedrich August von Hayek (1899-1992), was an Austrian-born economist and philosopher known for his defence of classical liberalism and free-market capitalism against socialist and collectivist thought. He is considered by some to be one of the most important economists and political philosophers of the twentieth century. Hayek's account of how changing prices communicate signals which enable individuals to coordinate their plans is widely regarded as an important achievement in economics. Hayek also wrote on the topics of jurisprudence, neuroscience and the history of ideas.
Hayek is one of the most influential members of the
Austrian School of economics, and in
1974 shared the
Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for his "pioneering work in the theory of money and economic fluctuations and [his] penetrating analysis of the interdependence of economic, social and institutional phenomena." He also received the
U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom in
1991 from president
George H. W. Bush.
Hayek lived in
Austria,
Great Britain, the
United States and
Germany, and became a
British subject in
1938. He spent most of his academic life at the
LSE, the
University of Chicago, and the
University of Freiburg. (
