Radio 4 has produced a documentary on F. A. Hayek and the Austrian school of economics. The programme, Radical Economics: Yo Hayek!, will be broadcast tonight (31st January) at 8:30. It examines Austrian explanations of the financial crisis, and features the IEA’s Editorial and Programme Director, Professor Philip Booth, as well as several other IEA authors. Its title refers to the popular Hayek-inspired rap song, Fear the Boom and Bust.
The following IEA publications, available as free pdf downloads, may also be of interest to students of Austrian economics:
