I want to thank Greg Ransom for noting this  
issue about Hayek's actual authorship of passages  
in The Fatal Conceit.  I have heard from more than  
one source about this problem of Bartley's overly  
vigorous "editing" of that work.  Given that Hayek  
and Keynes were personal friends, despite their  
deep differences over ideology and theory, it  
seems somewhat unlikely and out of character  
for Hayek to have been slamming Keynes for  
his personal morals, especially so near the end  
of his long life.  Certainly such slamming looks  
very tacky and unacceptable by today's standards,  
whether it was done by Bartley or by Hayek.
