> He’s against corporate personhood, skeptical about patents and copyright, and for urban planning, unemployment benefits, public health, socialized medicine, and inheritance taxes. It seems like what gets him really riled up is setting prices for cucumbers or state-owned hat factories.

That seems very consistent with typical free market libertarian stand. I haven't seen any libertarian loving socialized medicine or unemployment benefit. Are you confusing Libertarianism with something else perhaps ?

I believe the commenter meant that Hayek was _in favor of_ urban planning, unemployment benefits, public health, socialized medicine, and inheritance taxes.

A statement like that would most certainly should have required some clear references.
