Friedrich August von Hayek (b. 1899, d. 1992), was an Austrian School economist and political philosopher who argued for free-market capitalism, and winner of the 1974 Nobel Prize in Economics along with Gunnar Myrdal. He is often seen as one of the architects of neoliberalism, organised the Mont Pelerin Society and founded the Institute for Economic Affairs. His writings include The Road to Serfdom (1944) and The Constitution of Liberty (1960).
