Referenced in 14 other works — including The Economic Thinking of Prof. Milton Friedman , INDIA NEEDS A FREE MARKET EXCHANGE RATE , and Indian Planning and the Common Man .

In Economic Reforms and the Relevance of Prof. B. R. Shenoy : Hayek is invoked as Shenoy's closest intellectual parallel — both ostracised from policy corridors, but only Hayek belatedly honoured — making the comparison a pointed indictment of India's failure to acknowledge its own heterodox economists.

In Report : Karnik invokes Hayek's 'Fatal Conceit' as the canonical statement of planning hubris — using it to frame his rejection of the State-versus-market dichotomy in favour of institutional complementarity.

In The Economic Thinking of Prof. Milton Friedman : Brahmananda contrasts Friedman with Hayek, citing Hayek's uncompromising anti-inflation stance as the stricter standard against which Friedman's accommodation to Keynesianism falls short, aligning himself with the Austrian position.

In A PHILOSOPHY OF BUSINESS : Hayek's Road to Serfdom is cited as an authority on the dangers of state aggrandisement, supporting Kanoria's argument that concentrated government power threatens both economic and personal freedom.

Excerpts (1)

  • Freedom and Economic Freedom - Bibek Debroy, 2008
    • "Friedrich Hayek** wrote a very influential book titled "[The Road to Serfdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_to_Serfdom)." This book not only represents the essence of what is now called economic freedom, it also makes the important distinction between negative human rights (the core) and positive human rights (the undesirable and the noncore)." — Hayek's 1944 book is the theoretical anchor for Debroy's entire argument about freedom and economic freedom
