Can a Dictator Turn a Constitution into a Can-opener? F.A. Hayek and the Alchemy of Transitional Dictatorship in Chile
Commenting on the Pinochet regime, Friedrich Hayek famously claimed in 1981 that he would prefer a 'liberal' dictator to 'democratic government lacking liberalism.' Hayek's defense of a transitional dictatorship in Chile was not an impromptu response. In late 1960, in a little known BBC radio broadcast, Hayek suggested that a dictatorial regime may be able to facilitate a transition to stable limited democracy. While Hayek's comments about Pinoch…
Hayek and the Sorcerer's Apprentice
Commentators claim thatHayek's work readily explains what consequences are likely to result from the allegedly socialist policies finding favor with theObama Administration. They have ready cause to invoke his name asHayek himself has a penchant for promiscuously invoking "planning" with widespread descriptive applicability. This article draws upon archival material to show thatHayek did indeed think that persisting with middle-way policies (Haye…
Preventing the "Abuses" of Democracy
Hayek famously claimed that he would prefer a "liberal" dictator to "democratic government lacking in liberalism." While Hayek's views of the Pinochet regime have generated much controversy, surprisingly little has been written about Hayek's defense of transitional dictatorship. Making use of previously un-translated foreign language archival material, this paper helps shed light on Hayek's views of authoritarianism, totalitarianism, transitional…
A Substitute End for Socialism? F. A. Hayek and Keynesian Full-Employment Policy
This paper provides a caveat to Ben Jackson's article ‘At the origins of neo-liberalism’. Though agreeing with Jackson that many early market liberals did not particularly object to Keynesian policy and the nascent welfare state, we make use of archival and published material to help shed light on F. A. Hayek's assessment of Keynesian policy. In particular, we argue that Hayek had adopted a negative view of Keynesian policy and the welfare state …
