"One of the...The Left do not know their hayek<br /><br />"One of the most original and most important ideas advanced by Hayek is the role of the "division of knowledge" in economic society … <br /><br />Most of what has been written on systems analysis, computerized data processing, simulation of market processes, and other techniques of decision-making without the aid of competitive markets, appears shallow and superficial in the light of Hayek's analysis of the 'division of knowledge', its dispersion among masses of people. <br /><br />Information in the minds of millions of people is not available to any central body or any group of decision-makers who have to determine prices, employment, production, and investment but do not have the signals provided by a competitive market mechanism. <br /><br />Most plans for economic reform in the socialist countries seem to be coming closer to the realization that increasing decentralization of decision-making is needed to solve the problems of rational economic planning."<br /><br />Fritz Machlup, in "Hayek's Contribution to Economics", Swedish Journal of Economics, Vol. 76, (December 1974)Jim Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02233668500637892711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-80471627448592883252014-10-25T08:46:44.425+13:002014-10-25T08:46:44.425+13:00Good, she's clueless.
