O stosunku Friedricha Hayeka do teorii Keynesa i polityki pełnego zatrudninia
Streszczenie
Friedrich Hayek rejects explicitly both Keynes' theory and the policy of full
employment based on this theory. He bases his thesis about fundamental fallacy of
Keynes' theory on methodological premises. F. Hayek criticizes Keynes’ theory as
a theory applying methods of natural sciences, a macroeconomic theory and a theory
paving the way for dominance of quantitative economics. Moreover, at the foundations
of this criticism lie certain methodological-philosophical assumptions leading
to apotheosis of competition and negation of possibilities of steering socio-economic
processes by man in a deliberate way. In this point, Hayek's criticism of Keynesism
coincides with his criticism of the idea of planning and of socialism. The policy
of full employment is interpreted by the author as a policy cerating a necessity
of accelerated inflation. His criticism of this policy springs from his full acceptance
of the neoclassical theory of employment.
