Song	F.a. Hayek I'm in love with Friedrich Hayek

Hayekism is a right-wing libertarian ideology based off Friedrich Hayek's ideas. He believes the state should have minimal involvement in the economy aside from basic public services, and that currency should be denationalized and not be a public matter, thus the state can't intervene in the creation of money. He's also known for being a frenemy of Keynesian School.
He thinks that Socialism and collectivist ideas, in general, are a step backward and that western society has or at least should've already overcome such mentality. He also believes that each reform which brings society closer to Socialism puts it on a slippery slope towards totalitarianism.

History

Beliefs

Hayekism is essentially Classical Liberalism mixed with Austrian School economics, while also putting emphasis on the denationalization of money supply, preferring free banking over central banking.

It advocates for very minimal government intervention, but hayekian political philosophy, by defining coercion fundamentally different from other classical liberals/ libertarians (which is questioned by some such as Murray Rothbard) gives the state an important role in providing some public services, utilities, and social benefits, and also stating some policies such as mandatory conscription may be legitimately employed by the state. So, hayekism can also be said to overstep the boundaries set by the night-watchmen state proposed by "classical" minarchists.

Achievements

Trade cycle theory

Hayek’s earliest contribution was his development of a business cycle theory that built on the earlier work by Swedish economist Knut Wicksell and von Mises. While Hayek’s trade cycle theory, articulated during the Great Depression, has relatively few defenders today, some aspects of it remain valuable.

Economics and knowledge

The economics of information is now an important area of economics, and many theorists (among them, Leonid Hurwicz, Sanford Grossman, and Joseph Stiglitz) credit Hayek with being among the first to emphasize the role of market prices in conveying information.

Personality and Behaviour

Ancaps and Minarchists constantly make fun of Hayek, calling him a socialist because he wants a little more government. He also usually agrees with everything an Ancap says but don't like the conclusion the Ancaps have come to, eliminate the state completely.

And he's constantly freaking out and saying that the current leaders are as bad as Nazis because they don't promote laissez-faire capitalism.

• Ordo-Liberalism - A bit statist and interventionist, although Eucken was a cool guy.
• Neoliberalism - Similar to him, but more global.
• Libertarianism - My little less extremist grandfather with a different way to see economics. Not the biggest fan of the term 'libertarian' though; I like to say I'm more of an Old Whig.
• Capitalism - A little too interventionist & protectionist, but you're still on the free-enterprise side.
• Liberal Democracy - My favourite system.
• Korwinism - Another fan of mine. In general, he has the right ideas. Just a little sexist, to put it lightly.
• Social Libertarianism - "There are difficult questions about the precise standard which should thus be assured... but there can be no doubt that some minimum of food, shelter, and clothing, sufficient to preserve health and the capacity to work, can be assured to everybody."
• Chicago School - We have our differences but Milton Friedman was a great economist.
• Patriotism - I'm a British patriot!

Frenemies

• Keynesian School - Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!
• Anarcho-Capitalism - My other second uncle, who's even crazier than us both.
• Hoppeanism- YES, I advocated for a flat tax ONCE, and NO, that doesn't make me a commie!

• National Liberalism & National Libertarianism - Although Nationalism is collectivist you are correct opposing world government.

• Francoism - He took notes of our conference in 1959.
• Liberal Autocracy - "It is possible for a dictator to govern in a liberal way. And it is also possible for a democracy to govern with a total lack of liberalism. Personally I prefer a liberal dictator to democratic government lacking liberalism."
