Muddle of Middle starts with reference to RTS (& has a few others). Plus: "[T]here can be no stable halfway house between a market economy and socialism" - pure Mises logic of intervention plus a host of similar stuff I cannot fathom why Bruce would think all of that has nothing to do with the logic of RTS Samuelson, etc read Hayek as providing a Mises-type 'inherent logic of interventionism' type argument - they don't buy the mechanism (find it too opaque, fuzzy, unpersausive, etc) - are they wrong? I look forward to the early appearance of Bruce's edition which is long awaited. This is likely my final post on RTS & Hayek's logic (opportunity cost & all that). As Bruce said, folk would likely enjoy the EJPE symposium (& it is more nuanced than email exchanges to boot!). Andrew Farrant
