The Salma Hayek versus Friedrich Hayek Scorecard

So, you're an intellectual who appreciates the subjectivist economic theory and classical liberal political theory of Friedrich Hayek.  And you're also a moviegoer who appreciates the exotic allure of Mexican screen goddess Salma Hayek.  But who would win, if they went head to head?  Lucky for you, I'm keeping score. -- Glen Whitman
