Graduating from the Reykjavik Grammar School in 1972, Hannes completed his B.A. in philosophy and history and his M.A. in history from the University of Iceland, before going on to study politics at the University of Oxford, where he received his DPhil in 1985 for a thesis on
"Hayek's Conservative Liberalism". At Oxford, he was in 1984-1985 the R. G. Collingwood Scholar at Pembroke College; and he founded, with some like-minded friends, the Oxford Hayek Society. From 1988, Hannes has taught at the University of Iceland, becoming professor of political theory in the Faculty of Social Science in
1995. In 1984, he became a member of the Mont Pelerin Society, serving on its board of directors in 1998-2004.
He was also a member of the board of the Central Bank
of Iceland 2001-2009. He has been a visiting scholar at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, UCLA, George Mason University in Virginia, Tokyo University of the Fisheries, LUISS in Rome and International Centre for Economic Research, in Turin. He has twice been a Fulbright Scholar in the U.S. and once a Sasakawa Scholar in Japan. In 2005, Hannes organised a regional meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society in Iceland, devoted to "Freedom and Property in the 21st century". Since 2012, he has been the academic director of RNH, The Icelandic Research Centre for Innovation and Growth, a free-market think tank in Reykjavik. Since 2020, he has been a columnist for The Conservative, an online magazine published by ECR, European Conservatives and Reformists.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:svtoa36j2obowkx5ngo76hx2/bafkreife3zrmhgpxdabtmd2f64hphfzbp47mvhk7l7gnd3o22zrgunlf4m)
