Note that he is a mathematical economist with a PhD (focusing on game theory), and also a self-proclaimed Marxist. So his ideas and perspectives are very interesting, to say the least, and at times very unique.
- davidgerard 12y agoA Marxist who's into Hayek? Now that's interesting. Where did you find the Marxism? It's not in his Wikipedia article (which really needs updating).

- davidgerard 12y agoI figured that from Marx plus Hayek :-)
- thomasz 12y agoCorrect me when I'm wrong, but are those two not economists who gave a flying fuck about empiricism?
- davidgerard 12y agoMarx was writing when it wasn't even called economics. Hayek was fine with empiricism, you may be thinking of his later followers Rothbard and von Mises.
