You're still incredibly deluded. Even Hayek (bad as he is) would have supported someone's decision NOT to sell to someone else, your rethoric notwithstanding. BTW, do you have anything else besides "Tim is wrong"? (And I'm no fan of Tim.)
No, Hayek wouldn't have. Otherwise he wouldn't have been an apponent of regulated economies (in particular both socialist and fascist). Why was he against regulated economies? Because they don't offer the same opportunities to ALL the members of the market (buyer and seller alike).
If Hayek were alive today and you asked him,
"Do you support a business in a free market refusing to sell to Jews?"
His answer would have been decidedly in the negative,
You are both deranged and untruthfull. You make statements without caring or knowing whether they are true or false. His answer would, of course, have been that without freedom of asscociation, we will eventually wind up as serfs. --digsig James A.
