von Mises and Hayek to Walter Lippmann Keynes to Lippman It is, perhaps, worthwhile to point out the genealogies need not end with economists. The above connections are well documented. As an example Lippmann stated in his Acknowledgments to THE GREAT SOCIETY (1937): "... I should like to acknowledge particularly the influence of...; of Professor Ludwig von Mises and Professor F. von Hayek, whose critique of planned economy has brought a new understanding of the whole problem of collectivism; of Mr. John Maynard Keynes, who has done so much to demonstrate to the free peoples that the modern economy can be regulated without dictatorship."
