This abridged chapter from Linda Yueh's new book on The Great Economists focuses on the ideas of Hayek, his criticisms of central planning and belief in the impact of the free market price mechanism. A superb read for A level Economists building their knowledge and understanding of different points of view in Economics.

For Friedrich #Hayek, economic freedom was intimately connected to individual liberty. With each intervention by the state, the citizen loses a little more freedom. From my @TheTLS article: https://t.co/xTykkMARPQ
