Now I know where Soros gets some of his crazy idea:

George Soros, Hayek Fan

George Soros — the money manager and financier of left-wing causes — turns out to be a fan of Friedrich Hayek, the Austrian economist whose Road to Serfdom, warning of the perils of central planning, has been a bestseller amid President Obama’s expansion of government.

That was the message from Mr. Soros’s remarks here this afternoon at a Cato Institute forum.

Mr. Soros described his own views, emphasizing “fallibility” and “reflexivity,” as “in accordance with Hayek’s ideas.” He said that in the late 1940s, as a student at the London School of Economics, he had come out “on Hayek’s side” against socialism, “scientism,” and central planning.

Mr. Soros said he’d been “influenced” by Hayek. “He has had a big influence on my thinking,” Mr. Soros said, going on to describe government regulation as “a necessary evil.”

Goodness. We wouldn’t want Hayek to continue corrupting the minds of any of our youth. Something has to be done.
