"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 Burkean conservativism is under-taught (http://sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2016/12/conservative-under-representation-in.html …) but it's bananas to say that libertarian thought is under-represented or that people aren't aware of it. Relative to the population its massively over-represented would be my guess, similar to Marxism.

...Actually I read on, this is just agitprop not worth arguing with. Quillette sometimes posts serious, interesting, thoughtful pieces and sometimes stuff saying literary academics are all pseudo-Marxists so hostile to the Enlightenment; i.e. just conservative rage machine fluff.

Is it just that they break this out when they have a slow news day or something?

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)

According to the Open Syllabus Project, Hayek seems rather popular on syllabi. Here I searched for “philosophy AND economics” http://explorer.opensyllabusproject.org pic.twitter.com/vBRoQhLWl8

Why would I look for more data when it's already confirmed?
