Now, if only the so called Hayek team followed his premises instead of culting Rand.
And images are powerful indeed, associating Keynes with Wall Street sharks was highly misleading.

Funny thing is, Keynes and Hayek were actually friends. If you read much about their interactions they agreed on most subjects, especially the key tenants of Keynesian-ism.
Hayek mostly took his positions against government intervention on ethical grounds, thinking too much government power could too easily lead to what he had seen happen in Europe. He never really made the argument that intervention wouldn’t work, that was Friedman’s argument.
