About This Book

Friedrich Hayek argues that socialism is fundamentally based on the mistaken belief that human reason can deliberately design complex social systems. He posits that civilization has advanced through the spontaneous development of traditions, such as private property and market exchange, which facilitate the use of dispersed knowledge.
