Posted by Todd Zywicki: Mechanism Design and the Economics Nobel: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2007_10_14-2007_10_20.shtml#1192552164
The [1]Austrian Economists blog has several informative posts discussing the [2]winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics. According to [3]Peter Boettke, writing in today's Wall Street Journal, much of the early work on mechanism design was spurred by Mises and Hayek's challenge to socialist economic planning. (Boettke's column presumably is subscriber only as it is not on Opinion Journal).
