News and current affairs

The genius of the Habsburg Empire's Prince Klemens von Metternich in framing a new international order after the Napoleonic Wars was that he did not push a defeated France into a corner.

One of the great transformational leaders in history, Otto von Bismarck, became largely incremental and status quo-oriented after achieving the unification of Germany under Prussian direction.

But, after three years of unimaginable carnage, the Kaiser had been reduced to an instrument of a military dictatorship run by Paul von Hindenburg and his chief of staff, Erich Ludendorff.

It was the same frontier that Friedrich von Hayek first surveyed in The Road to Serfdom in 1944.

Von Braun endorsed an automated telescope in space, but thought that astronauts would need to visit the instrument to change the film.

This would entail recognizing and trying to assuage the fears that China's rise is causing among its neighbors, as Otto von Bismarck did after German unification in 1871.

The Chilean military strongman Augusto Pinochet, for example, imposed his own version of capitalism with an iron fist, and, though Margaret Thatcher and Friedrich von Hayek admired him, hardly anyone reveres him today.

If this is true, we are closer to John Maynard Keynes's view of the market as a casino than to Friedrich von Hayek's view of it as a marvelous mechanism for processing dispersed information.
