Hayek rejected all Third Way positions, setting him apart from Keynes and Stiglitz

Evidence

Hayek reveled in the tough-minded stance of the scholar who disparaged any recourse to the Third Way, most notoriously in his denunciation of the welfare state as just the slippery “Road to Serfdom.” This sets him apart from his contemporary figures like Walter Lippmann, or Keynes, or their modern epigones like Cass Sunstein or Joseph Stiglitz. — Philip Mirowski, Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste, 1917
