Great discussion on Hayek’s infatuation with knowledge/information. I think it accounts for more of the schism between Austrian camps than is usually recognized, as well as why the “Hayekians” are, as a rule, more tolerant and tolerated by the mainstream. The perhaps tenuous link to information theory is a key to the approach’s respectability. It sits well with a “naturalized” view of information. This is something that Janich wrote on, and I seem to remember Hoppe mentioning Janich in one of his talks.
