"One would be lucky to find advocates of social justice in the academy who are familiar with the name ‘Hayek’, let alone those who have read him". No. The Use Of Knowledge in Society is required reading in phil econ and phil social science more generally.http://quillette.com/2018/04/15/stifling-uniformity-literary-theory/ …

I think I agree that few people read Hayek. People think they know what Hayek said, but really they know Friedman...so they miss out on the best parts of his philosophy of science. (I didn’t read the OP, in light of your comments)

Ah you should give it a read, maybe I misjudged. Definitely the case that Friedman (esp. that essay on instrumentalism) is read. But my strong impression is: Use of Knowledge is a pieces which, like, it counts against you not to know, in the Polite Society of phil social science.

Where are these mysterious almost-readable Quillette articles? Is it hidden behind the ‘race realism’ trash they churn out?

I haven’t archived stuff I like and don’t now have time to look, no skin off my back if you don’t like anything by them. But to be clear, I didn’t say “almost” readable, I offered straightforward praise.
