The Intellectual Portrait Series: The Life and Thought of Friedrich A. Hayek (Indianapolis: Liberty Fund, 2003) Books Featured Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis mises.org Monetary Theory and the Trade Cycle aussienomics.com Contra Keynes and Cambridge:essays, correspondence sites.google.com Description: The 20th century witnessed the unparalleled expansion of government power over the lives and livelihoods of individuals. Much of this was the result of two devastating world wars and totalitarian ideologies that directly challenged individual liberty and the free institutions of the open society. Other forms of expansion in the provision of social welfare and the regulation of the economy, while more benign in their objectives, nevertheless posed significant challenges to personal freedom. Few individuals did more to both extend our understanding of the economic processes of the free society and alert us to the dangers inherent in the growth of political power than the Nobel-laureate economist and social theorist, Friedrich A. Hayek. In over half a century of writing and teaching, he showed why National Socialism was the very antithesis of capitalism, why communism was an economic and political philosophy ultimately doomed to failure, and why we must be wary of government intervention if we are to preserve the freedoms that make democracy and prosperity possible.

@Malthus0 what a funny coincidence! I’ve gone to mises.org and in the main page there was a video titled “Stephan Kinsella: Intellectual Property and Libertarianism”. It’s been also uploaded to YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=GZgLJkj6m0A
It’s comforting to know that outstanding thinkers like Hayek or Benjamin Tucker arrived at some of the same conclusions as you.
@heathmoor I think Epstien overstates Hayek’s position with this quote ”as long as they’re not physically harming someone else”. Hayek used the term coercion in a more nuanced definition of coercion then just physical harm, & which may rule out patent rights and intellectual ownership as coercive in themselves. However Hayek was highly dubious about the economic benifits of patents. See Steven Kinsella’s posts on the topic on mises.org for the quotes.
@heathmoor Close; I have only corrected the youtube transcription up to 17:00 so far.
Alan Ebenstein: “…Hayek argued that central planning authorities don’t develop that sort of planning ability, that they’re inevitably bureaucratic, and they prevent the new and the creative and the diverse from emerging, and that what you wanna do is to have a society in which individuals are free to do as much as what they want, whatever they wanna do, as long as they’re not physically harming someone else.” (16:25)
Aren’t patent rights and intellectual ownership against this philosophy?

The automatic YouTube transcription really sucks, I bet it starts at about 17:40
I wonder why I have it turned on in the first place. At times it’s hard to understand what Hayek is saying, but in this documentary he actually speaks very little.
