It's amazing Hayek won a Nobel after being the student of such a washout.


People, both then and now, are fond of Hayek and Von Mises works in anti-communist polemic. At no point were they reputable economists.


What on earth are you talking about? Hayek won a Nobel prize for works in economics but isn't a reputable economist?
