I'm in Love with Friedrich Hayek by Dorian Electra ( Official Music Video)

A love song for economist F. A. Hayek.

Original song by Dorian Electra.
Filmed by Clara Lee, Madeline Scholl, and Ciaran Finlayson.

Lyrics:

Hey there Freidrich Hayek, ya lookin really nice
Your methodology is oh so precise
You break down social science to the fundamentals
Rules and social order are the essentials

Chorus:
The use of knowledge in society
by each of us we make the economy
It's not magic that somehow our plans all align
The result of human action, not of human design

Tell me your thoughts on resource misallocation
Distorted price signals and misinformation
Interest rates that are made artificially low
Telling producers where resources should go

Chorus

Since these low interest rates, like you said, are lies
Malinvestments come as no surprise
Soon these mistakes will all be revealed
and then corrected, unless they're concealed

Chorus

Sometimes I dream all day 'bout bein' Mrs. Hayek
We'd share milkshakes, watch sunsets, and kayak
We'd work together on that business cycle theory
Oh darlin' you've been workin' hard, you must be weary

Come to my couch, on which you can rest
I'll make tea, we'll talk credit and interest
Then I can talk about my interest in you
Of course we'll talk 'bout the economy, too

Just me and you (x2)
Me and You
Oh, oh
Me and You

Hayek is aight... but I prefer Rothbard.

Keynes ignored one critical part of basic human nature... POWER CORRUPTS!

She looks like Angry Video Game Nerd's first girlfriend! :)

Will you marry me?

No, I did not respond to that by conflating Austrians and neoclassicals, I never even mentioned Austrians in my response! Do you wanna show me where I did? Good luck.

And you responded to that by conflating Austrians and neoclassicals types of agents. That issue is seperate from the extent of government involvement. You should take your own advice & "use the internet" to check your making your criticism at the right group. Google - How markets work kirzner pdf - That book explains how Austrians see themselves in opposition to the mainstreem Neoclassicism.

[Malthus0]

Want to explain how that connects with "power corrupts"? Hayek allowed welfare policy to the extent that it could exist within a set of general rules, where everyone is treated equally, the rule of law. As opposed to discretion, which is open to abuse. If Keynes ignored "power corrupts" it is because he saw economic policy as a discretionary activity of an elite.

[Julia Riber Pitt]

Hayek supported a welfare state - TRUE FACT!

[HansBeimler]

I would like to marry you... where do you live? :)

If you look back to where the conversation started I wasn't specifically referring to Hayek. It was in response to another user who made a general comment about 'socialists' and 'statists.' Hayek wasn't against government involvement in the economy, he was essentially a statist himself in that regard, a fact many of his 'supporters' often seem not to acknowledge.

[Malthus0]

You are commenting on a video about Hayek, you are not going to get very far critising neoclassical theory as if it applies the same to Austrains. Contra "a rational utility maximising agent" Jaffe in his paper Menger, Jevons and Walras De-Homogenized described his Menger's (founder of the school) agent as "far from being a ‘lightning calculator,’ is a bumbling, erring, ill-informed creature, plagued with uncertainty, forever hovering between alluring hopes and haunting fears"
