“The first proponent of cortical memory networks on a major scale was neither a neuroscientist nor a computer scientist but .. a Viennes economist: Friedrich von Hayek (1899-1992). A man of exceptionally broad knowledge and profound insight into the operation of complex systems, Hayek applied such insight with remarkable success to economics (Nobel Prize, 1974), sociology, political science, jurisprudence, evolutionary theory, psychology, and brain science (Hayek, 1952).” MenFirstsPoliticalMemoriesBrainPsychologyTheoryComputerMajorsEconomicsScientistProfoundComplexesInsightScalesOperationsRemarkablePrizeBroadsEconomistSociologyPolitical ScienceNobelNobel PrizeComplex SystemsHayekJurisprudenceBrain ScienceVon Hayek Author:Joaquin Fuster

“Probably the only people left who think that economics deserves a Nobel Prize are economists. It confirms their conceit that they're doing 'science' rather than the less tidy task of observing the world and trying to make sense of it. This, after all, is done by mere historians, political scientists, anthropologists, sociologists, and (heaven forbid) even journalists. Economists are loath to admit that they belong in such raffish company.” PeopleThinkingWorldTryingDonePoliticalLeftHeavenCompanyDeserveEconomicsTasksScientistMereMake SenseJournalistPrizeHistorianEconomistObservingConceitNobelNobel PrizeTidyAnthropologistsSociologistsObserving The World Author:Robert J.
