Hayek went to Freiburg in 1962, the same year as Buchanan and Tullock published Calculus of Consent. 

I still think it plausible that in 1978 looking back that he might still have thought of Tullock as [the one] in South Carolina. I wouldn't get too fixed on the year 1978.

I am rather hoping that these ideas are now spreading. Of course, I think the main thing is that there are economists who are working outside their fields, like Jim Buchanan and [the one] in South Carolina, and some of the people working at UCLA. What I said before--that you cannot be a good economist except by being more than an economist-- I think is being recognized by more and more of the economists. This narrow specialization, particularly of the mathematical economists, is, I believe, going out.

 

Hayek plagiarized material from John C. Calhoun: but what in South Carolina is Hayek referring to?
