Well, if it is critiques of Hayek on the socialist calculation debate your interested in the following should be of interest:
First of all there was the Polish Marxist economist Oscar Lange, who attempted to answer Hayek from the standpoint of market socialism. For example, see: *On the Economic Theory of Socialism*.
Then there are some more recent writers like Paul Cockshott and Allin Cottrell who defend the possibility of a viable planned socialist economy, in which computer networks would play central role for the gathering and processong of the necessary information.

Can anyone direct me to a good single volume, or at least relatively short and accessible, socialist (state or anarchist) response to or critique of Hayek?
thanks, josh ___________________________________
