More Hayek tapes have been located (or rather, at this stage, the Japanese transcripts).  Since Hayek left all this material to Stanford - for the use of scholars - we should (collectively) follow all leads to locate other AWOL material. 

Please forward any leads to Robert Leeson ([log in to unmask])

Does anybody have information about Hayek's first paper: 

"I think the first paper I ever wrote--never published, and I haven't even got a copy--was on a thing which had already occurred to me in the last few days in the army, suggesting that you might have a double government, a cultural and an economic government. I played for a time with this idea in the hope of resolving the conflict between nationalities in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I did see the benefits of common economic government. On the other hand, I was very much aware of all the conflicts about education and similar problems. And I thought it might be possible in governmental functions to separate the two things--let the nationalities have their own cultural arrangements and yet let the central government provide the framework of a common economic system. That was, I think, the first thing I put on paper."
