“We are ready to accept almost any explanation of the present crisis of our civilization except one: that the present state of the world may be the result of genuine error on our own part and that the pursuit of some of our most cherished ideals has apparently produced results utterly different from those which we expected.... The dispute between the modern planners and their opponents is, therefore, not a dispute on whether we ought to choose intelligently between the various possible organizations of society; it is not a dispute on whether we ought to employ foresight and systematic thinking in planning our common affairs. It is a dispute about what is the best way of so doing.[ ]” Excerpt from “The Road to Serfdom” by Friedrich von Hayek, 1944, pp. 13-14, Copyright © 1944 (renewed 1972), 1994 by The University of Chicago Press. youtube/watch?v=_W_lLhBt8Vg
