And a "small band or troop" is man's original political organization (it's clear from the larger context Hayek means something like a hunter-gatherer "band"). So yes, Hayek views political entities as possibly something needing to control free markets in order to resist being "crushed." (Today's equivalent might be a village refusing to allow a big-box chain store to build in town.)gcallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065877215969589482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-50611203647828373122011-05-30T11:24:24.620-04:002011-05-30T11:24:24.620-04:00What I mean, Gene, is that to me it seems Hayek is...What I mean, Gene, is that to me it seems Hayek is saying, e.g., it would dumb for parents to refuse to give food to their infant until "he'd earned it." Or that if a group of soldiers is running towards a nest of machine guns, for one of them to say, "Actually I'm going to call in sick today."<br /><br />You seem to think Hayek is here justifying all sorts of regulations *on the market economy* imposed at the local level, when (to me) that's not what he's doing at all.Bob Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001108408649311528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-63777497566250201342011-05-27T16:43:36.580-04:002011-05-27T16:43:36.580-04:00Bob I'm not sure what you think I've forgo...Bob I'm not sure what you think I've forgotten.gcallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065877215969589482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-89664674060021323132011-05-27T16:43:35.239-04:002011-05-27T16:43:35.239-04:00Bob I'm not sure what you think I've forgo...Bob I'm not sure what you think I've forgotten.gcallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065877215969589482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-3157882651173585462011-05-27T14:50:10.620-04:002011-05-27T14:50:10.620-04:00But Gene, you seem to have forgotten what Hayek wr...But Gene, you seem to have forgotten what Hayek wrote in the 18 seconds after you posted the quote. He said we shouldn't apply the market principle to "(i.e., of the small band or troop, or of, say, our families)" and you seem to think you've just discovered the means by which the mayor can impose price controls during a hurricane.Bob Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001108408649311528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-47551554936291963432011-05-27T14:25:30.703-04:002011-05-27T14:25:30.703-04:00It's the topic of chapter 4 in Predictably Irr...It's the topic of chapter 4 in Predictably Irrational.
