Hayek claimed that he always made it his rule 'not to be concerned
with current politics, but to try to operate on public opinion.'
However, evidence suggests that he was a party political operative
with 'free' market scholarship being the vehicle through which he
sought - and achieved - party political influence. The 'main
purpose' of his Mont Pelerin Society had 'been wholly achieved'.
Mises promoted 'Fascists' including Ludendorff and Hitler, and
Hayekians promoted the Operation Condor military dictatorships and
continue to maintain a 'united front' with 'neo-Nazis.' Hayek, who
supported Pinochet's torture-based regime and played a promotional
role in 'Dirty War' Argentina, is presented as a saintly figure.
These chapters place 'free' market promotion in the context of the
post-1965 neo-Fascist 'Strategy of Tension', and examine Hayek's
role in the promotion of deflation that facilitated Hitler's rise
to power; his proposal to relocate Gibraltarians across the
frontier into 'Fascist' Spain; the Austrian revival of the 1970s;
the role of (what was presented as) 'neutral academic data' on
behalf of the 'International Right' and their efforts to promote
Franz Josef Strauss and Ronald Reagan and defend apartheid and the
Shah of Iran
