The Economics of Knowledge
Friedrich A. Hayek
About this video
Economics is primarily about knowledge. Knowledge of prices, costs, and productive possibilities. According to Friedrich A. Hayek, no one person or institution has this knowledge; it exists in a dispersed form throughout the whole of society. And the point of having a market is to allow this dispersed knowledge to be coordinated. This video examines the concept of price as an information system and looks at the intellectual rivalry that existed between Hayek and John Maynard Keynes.
