Description
"The special task of economics is to show people how little they really know about what they consider to be consciously constructible." The Nobel Prize winner in economics and prophet of liberalism wrote one of his seminal works in 1988. In it, he presents the main arguments for economic freedom and the free market and lays out his manifesto on the errors of socialism. Hayek argues that socialism has been wrong in its factual and even logical foundations since its inception. The repeated failures in many different practical applications of socialist ideas, witnessed in the 20th century, were a direct consequence of these errors. Hayek labels the fatal arrogance the notion that "man is capable of shaping the surrounding world according to his wishes."
