Abstrakt: This article offers a detailed biography of Friedrich Hayek, an Austrian economist known for his controversial ideas. It explores Hayek's upbringing, education, and his involvement in the Austrian school of economics. The article also delves into his debates with John Maynard Keynes and his perspectives on economic planning and the welfare state. While the authors sympathize with Hayek's ideas, they refrain from offering a critical assessment. Another article provides a critical analysis of Hayek's economic and political theories, arguing that they oversimplify complex historical and developmental factors. However, the author acknowledges Hayek's contributions to economic thought and praises the comprehensive nature of the biography. [Extracted from the article]
