I identify with Hayek. When I read him I hear myself. His temperament. Opinion. Even the tempo of his prose. Although I am less organized (or rather less professionally disciplined). And I have taken on a public persona more suited to our time and my mission. After hayek, certainly Machiavelli, and a now and then Hume. I suspect if Aristotle’s work survived intact, I might find familiarity there, but too far apart in frame of reference. Modern translation obscures the difference between the greeks we would find alien. We are children of the pragmatism of rome atop our germanic intuitions and traditions, atop our aryan genes and instincts.
