Well. I certainly was not expecting this. Plot twist in a nonfiction book.
"But answer came there none. Hayek remained hushed. Faced with confronting Keynes at full flow, Hayek blinked. Weeks passed, but his expected counter-blast was not forthcoming. Hayek's life purpose, the very reason Robbins summoned him from Vienna to the LSE, a key reason Beveridge had leapt at the chance to appoint him to the LSE staff, appeared to have come to nothing. Keynes's great work was met with neither a bang nor a whimper. Hayek's response, so keenly awaited by classical economists throughout Britain and the continent, was a yawning silence."
