F.A. Hayek (1899-1992) was a free-market economist and the most prominent member of the [[Austrian School of Economics]], a [[libertarian]] movement.  Hayek emphasized our limited knowledge of the markets (and other subjects), and thus our need for the price mechanism to communicate essential information about supply and demand.  No centralized planner or government can manage the economy.  A freemarket is the most efficient known allocator of resources.
