Friedrich Hayek wrote The Road to Serfdom, the book that launched a thousand libertarian anime profiles, and spent his career pretending economics started in 1871 because everything before that (you know, the labor theory of value, Marx finishing what Smith and Ricardo started) was too inconvenient.
Haz on him
Asked directly (DOMINATING LIBS/N*ZIS/GROYPERS/OPPS stream): "What is your take on Hayek?" — "I don't really like that guy. I'm not particularly fond of him." (The questioner recalled an earlier stream where Hayek got some credit — "there's always granules. There's always small granules and parts of cows, if you will.")
The school's actual function (MASSIVE DEBATE ROYALE): "Marx so thoroughly critiqued the classical school, brought classical political economy to its logical conclusion, that the bourgeoisie needed a more subjectivist, pseudoscientific economic science to explain why capitalism is the best — and this is where you get folks like Hayek and Milton Friedman." Classical economy asked where wealth comes from; Hayek changed the subject to vibes and prices.
Cultural legacy: Road to Serfdom is the book some guy read in 1971 and then an entire identity formed around it (Kanye's CHALLENGE stream) — Ludwig von Mises's magic-thinking with better PR (Economic Calculation Problem).
