Survey says …
July 5, 2010 | Posted by Greg Ransom 36% of German economist surveyed say that Friedrich Hayek’s ideas are “Very Important” for today’s economics, in a poll of 1,158 German economists by the Financial Times of Germany. Another 32% say that Hayek’s ideas are “Somewhat Important” for today’s economics. Three percent say that Hayek’s ideas are “Unimportant” — exactly the same number who said this in 2006. Hayek’s “Very Important” and “Somewhat Important” numbers are also essentially unchanged from 2006.
The numbers are frankly higher than I would have guessed, putting Hayek at #9 among all economists, living and dead.
