I don't think the number of "conservative views" on HN is particularly high. There is an exceptional number of semi-libertarians. Hayek is of particular interest because he is one of the few economists to be at least well-respected thinker by the left and the right. I posted the link because I thought it was a very interesting development, not because I found it self-gratifying. I'd be equally curious if Das Kapital showed up as #1. (It ceased to be interesting once it was pointed out that it was bumped due to Beck.)
