Today would have been the 110th birthday of F.A. Hayek.  He was one of the greatest minds of the past century.  This is what Steve Horwitz has to say over at The Austrian Economists

When future historians look back, they will recognize that the 20th Century was the “Century of Hayek” in terms of who generated ideas that both influenced the course of events in that century and set the agenda for understanding the social world for years to come.

Here are some links about him on the web:

Café Hayek relays a quote from Hayek’s Road to Serfdom about “The Totalitarians in Our Midst.”

Taking Hayek Seriously has a link to some biographical info on Hayek’s youth.

Mario Rizzo writes A Personal Appreciation over at Think Markets.
