Hamowy, Ronald. A note on Hayek and anti-Semitism. Ibid. 34,1 (2002) 255-260. Reder, Melvin Warren. Reply to Hamowy. 261-272. Weintraub, E. Roy. Prejudice and the history of economics a minisymposium. Ibid. 35,4 (2003) 685-686. Finds a degree of antisemitism in the attitudes of three economists - John Maynard Keynes, Joseph Schumpeter, and Friedrich Hayek - which is related to their belonging to the educated elite. Their "ambivalent antisemitism" was manifested in some contexts and toward some individuals but not in others. The prejudice of Keynes involved negative stereotypes of Jews. The economists' contemporaries, and later biographers, tended to dismiss the possibility that these intellectuals were antisemitic, largely because they supported some Jewish colleagues. While their prejudice did not affect their economic theories, it may have impacted on their views about the functioning of academic institutions. Hayek's antisemitism was revealed in his views on the immigration to Austria of Ostjuden and his justification of restrictions in regard to them. Discusses a change in public attitudes that became less tolerant of antisemitism after 1945. Attributes this to changes in American universities. Among the factors was increased demand for both quantity and quality in academic staff, which increased the number of places for Jews, and made antisemitism less acceptable since Jews had more choice of employment. The response by Ronald Hamowy [ibid. 34,1 (2002) 255-260] claims that Hayek was "pro-Semitic". Reder's reply [ibid., 261-272] rejects Hamowy's arguments, stressing Hayek's hostility toward Jews.
