Sinopsis

Hayek claimed that he always made it his rule âÇÖnot to be concerned with current politics, but to try to operate on public opinion.âÇÖ However, evidence suggests that he was a party political operative with âÇÖfreeâÇÖ market scholarship being the vehicle through which he sought - and achieved - party political influence. The âÇÖmain purposeâÇÖ of his Mont Pelerin Society had âÇÖbeen wholly achievedâÇÖ. Mises promoted âÇÖFascistsâÇÖ including Ludendorff and Hitler, and Hayekians promoted the Operation Condor military dictatorships and continue to maintain a âÇÖunited frontâÇÖ with âÇÖneo-Nazis.âÇÖ Hayek, who supported PinochetâÇÖs torture-based regime and played a promotional role in âÇÖDirty WarâÇÖ Argentina, is presented as a saintly figure.ááThese chapters place âÇÖfreeâÇÖ market promotion in the context of the post-1965 neo-Fascist âÇÖStrategy of TensionâÇÖ, and examine HayekâÇÖs role in the promotion of deflation that facilitated HitlerâÇÖs rise to power, his proposal to relocate Gibraltarians across the frontier into âÇÖFascistâÇÖ Spain, the Austrian revival of the 1970s, the role of (what was presented as) âÇÖneutral academic dataâÇÖ on behalf of the âÇÖInternational RightâÇÖ and their efforts to promote Franz Josef Strauss and Ronald Reagan and defend apartheid and the Shah of Iran
