“There was a pretext, albeit slender, that might have prompted Hayek to reach out to Keynes: Keynes had succeeded Edgeworth as editor of the Economic Journal in 1911. But”
Nicholas Wapshott, Keynes Hayek: The Clash that Defined Modern Economics

“If an equilibrium was invariably elusive in the real world, Hayek argued, then the a priori assumptions that theoretical economists make about the operation of an economy, or a market, tending toward an equilibrium would always fall short. An equilibrium can be predicted only if the intentions of each of the participants is known, and that is impossible both in theory and in practice.”
Nicholas Wapshott, Keynes Hayek: The Clash that Defined Modern Economics

“determined to prove that there were no simple solutions to intractable economic problems, and came to believe that those who advocated large-scale public spending programs to cure unemployment were inviting not just uncontrollable inflation but political tyranny.”
Nicholas Wapshott, Keynes Hayek: The Clash that Defined Modern Economics
