Advice and consent
From Professor F. A. Hayek, FBA
Sir, Since you describe me as one "of Mrs Margaret Thatcher's economic advisers" (March 10) I may be allowed to say that, while I have the greatest admiration for her principles and proud when told, that they resemble mine, I am too much aware of my limited knowledge of political possibilities to presume to advise her on particular decisions.
Yours Faithfully,
F. A. HAYEK.
