Some thoughts on the meaning of competition

This summer I had a great pleasure to take part in the Buckingham University Vinson Centre Annual Conference and present some of my thoughts on the meaning of competition. You can watch my talk here:

If you wish, you can read Hayek’s essay on “The Meaning of Competition” here. Hayek first delivered this lecture at Princeton in 1946 and in that same year — invited by the Asociación Mexicana de la Cultura — presented his ideas in Mexico City (more on that here). In my talk I also mention a recent panel “On the meaning of competition in the digital age” organized by the IEA in 2021. Some papers from that panel are available here.
