TAKING HAYEK SERIOUSLY

"Postrel and Pinker push Hayek -- a bit too far".

So argues Mark Liberman of U. Penn on his Language Log blog.

Sidenote: Hayek first came up with his concept of the synaptic connection model in 1920. Joaquin Fuster (UCLA) considers Hayek's 1952 development of the model far more sophisticated than that presented by Hebb in 1949.
