About this video
This video examines the advantages of Friedrich A. Hayek’s great society or extended order. The importance of traditions and the rules of behavior that emerge from traditions fascinated Hayek and he also recognized the critical role freedom plays in everyday decisions and actions. Hayek challenges centralization by demonstrating how communities interact with one another efficiently and blames government coercion for the destruction of social order and spontaneity.
