NOTE How do you differ from Hayek's interpretation of Mandeville?

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.300
One of the places where I differed with Hayek strongly in the history of score is the status of Mandeville.

2
00:00:05.300 --> 00:00:13.400
Bernard Mandeville was a Dutch physician who lived in London most of his life, who wrote a fable of the bees and other such fables,

3
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:18.600
which Hayek claims to be the origin of the idea of spontaneous order and how free market works and so forth.

4
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:20.600
No, I disagree with that totally.

5
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:27.200
I think the Weiner position, which was the Hutcherson position, which was that essentially Mandeville was not only a status but also

6
00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:31.600
The Federal Reserve is sort of a pre-Keynesian plea for the glory of consumption.
