Beskrivning
F.A. Hayek (1899-1992), the co-leader of the Austrian free market school, embraced the transparently fraudulent assertion made by Donald McCormick, aka Richard Deacon, in The British Connection which accused A.C. Pigou, the co-leader of the Cambridge market failure school, of being a Soviet spy.

'This volume is special. It examines the relationship between Hayek and Donald McCormick, a fantasy historian ... who falsified his way through thousands of pages of British and European history ... After taking the hatchet to Donald, in chapter after chapter, Fraud, Fascism and Free Market Religion is now set to become the point of reference for anyone who has the task of eliminating Donald McCormick from their preferred area of history ... the editor Robert Leeson has gathered a series of writers together who had some experience of McCormick or who have at least eye-balled his work in their own disciplines ... The overall effect is pleasing. We get a well-rounded view of McCormick and perhaps, understanding him a bit better, we might start to ask what on earth encouraged an intelligent, articulate and, by many accounts, charming individual to act in such a donkeyish fashion. There are two points in Fraud, Fascism and Free Market Religion where an author demonstrates that McCormick lied. The first is the crucial episode where McCormick argued that Hayek's enemy Pigou was a Soviet spy. The second is the chapter by Howard Kimberley looking at one McCormick book, that on Madoc [proto-Columbian Welsh discoverer of America, sic], and showing how McCormick invented or manipulated sources.'
