Hayek Quotes

• ¿Qué es lo más importante que se aprende hoy en un curso de economía? Lo que intento dejar a mis alumnos es la idea de que la mano invisible es más poderosa que la mano oculta. Las cosas sucederán en esfuerzos bien organizados sin dirección, controles, planes. Ese es el consenso entre los economistas. Ese es el legado de Hayek.

• Since the idea that modification of synaptic function can provide a basis for memory arose shortly after the first anatomical description of the synapse a number of models (Hebb 1949 . . Hayek 1952 . . Kendel 1981) have been proposed in which various cognitive activities are represented by combinations of the firing patterns of individual neurons.

• Incluso filósofos que han denunciado pseudociencias como el psicoanálisis, han condonado teorías económicas pseudocientíficas como la microeconomía neoclásica. Es mucho más seguro y fácil criticar a Freud y Jung que a Milton Friedman y Friedrich Hayek, porque estos últimos están respaldados por movimientos políticos mientras que los primeros no.

• Un gobierno poderoso tiende a atraer a personas con un ego exagerado, que creen saber más que los demás y no dudan en coaccionar a sus semejantes. O, como dijo el Premio Nobel Friedrich Hayek, "en el gobierno, la escoria sube a la cima".

• El primer defensor de las redes de memoria cortical a gran escala no fue ni un neurocientífico ni un informático sino .. un economista vienés: Friedrich von Hayek (1899-1992). Hombre de conocimientos excepcionalmente amplios y profunda perspicacia sobre el funcionamiento de los sistemas complejos, Hayek aplicó dicha perspicacia con notable éxito a la economía (Premio Nobel, 1974), la sociología, la ciencia política, la jurisprudencia, la teoría evolutiva, la psicología y la ciencia del cerebro (Hayek, 1952).

• Hayek made a quite fruitful suggestion, made contemporaneously by the psychologist Donald Hebb, that whatever kind of encounter the sensory system has with the world, a corresponding event between a particular cell in the brain and some other cell carrying the information from the outside word must result in reinforcement of the connection between those cells. These day, this is known as a Hebbian synapse, but von Hayek quite independently came upon the idea. I think the essence of his analysis still remains with us.

• The main reasons for dwelling .. on Hayek's model is simply that it has certain properties, absent from most others, that conform exceptionally well to recent neurobiological evidence on memory and that make it particularly suited to the current discourse.

• It is truly amazing that, with much less neuroscientific knowledge available, Hayek's model comes closer, in some respects, to being neurophysiologically verifiable than those models developed 50 to 60 years after his.

• Hebb place the Law of Effect at the synaptic level by proposing a correlation model of synaptic modification similar to that of Hayek (1952). This work was seminal in providing a basis for many subsequent theoretical studies . .

• Most theoretical work since the proposals of Hebb (1949) and Hayek (1952) has relied upon particular forms of dependent synaptic rules in which either pre- or postsynaptic change is contingent upon closely occurring events in both neurons taking part in the synapse.

• Friedrich Hayek .. seems to have been the first to postulate what is the core of this paper, namely, the idea of memory and perception represented in widely distributed networks of interconnected cortical cells. Subsequently this idea has received theoretical support, however tangential, from the fields of cognitive psychology, connectionism and artificial intelligence. Empirically, it is well supported by the physiological study and neuroimaging of working memory.

• Friedrich Hayek, fallecido el 23 de marzo de 1992 a la edad de 92 años, fue posiblemente el mayor científico social del siglo XX. En el momento de su muerte, su forma fundamental de pensamiento había suplantado al sistema de John Maynard Keynes -su principal rival intelectual del siglo- en la batalla que desde los años treinta se libraba por las mentes de los economistas y las políticas de los gobiernos.

• Como yo también escribo, admiro mucho a las latinas que crean contenidos. Ese es el siguiente paso. Podemos hablar de ver más latinas en la televisión todo el día, pero se trata de qué podemos hacer para que eso ocurra. Mujeres como Eva Longoria, Sofía Vergara, Jennifer López y Salma Hayek están produciendo un montón de grandes programas protagonizados por latinas. Ésas son las mujeres que me inspiran, porque no sólo actúan, sino que crean para el futuro.

• The government can always rescue the markets or interfere with contract law whenever it deems convenient with little or no apparent cost. (Investors believe this now and, worse still, the government believes it as well. We are probably doomed to a lasting legacy of government tampering with financial markets and the economy, which is likely to create the mother of all moral hazards. The government is blissfully unaware of the wisdom of Friedrich Hayek: "The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.")

• Con respecto al orden social, [Francis] Fukuyama escribe: "El estudio sistemático de cómo el orden, y por tanto el capital social, puede surgir de forma espontánea y descentralizada es uno de los desarrollos intelectuales más importantes de finales del siglo XX". Atribuye correctamente los orígenes modernos de este argumento a F. A. Hayek, cuyas contribuciones pioneras a la ciencia cognitiva, al estudio de la evolución cultural y a la dinámica del cambio social le situaron a la vanguardia de los estudiosos más creativos del siglo XX.

• Si la contienda central del siglo XX ha enfrentado al capitalismo con el socialismo, F. A. Hayek ha sido su figura central. Nos ayudó a entender por qué el capitalismo ganó por KO. Fue Hayek quien elaboró el argumento básico que demostraba que la planificación central no era más que una fantasía empobrecedora.

• For Dicey, writing in 1885, and for me reading him some seventy years later, the rule of law still had a very English, or at least Anglo-Saxon, feel to it. It was later, through Hayek's masterpieces "The Constitution of Liberty" and "Law, Legislation and Liberty" that I really came to think this principle as having wider application.
