Louise Cooper on Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek

Financial journalist Louise Cooper said Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek was a "fellow fighter" as she looked at his legacy - and influence on Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.

She described him as an "Austrian upstart" who took on Keynes in a film for the Daily Politics' My Favourite Political Thinker series with Giles Dilnot.
