Social justice rests on the h...

Social justice rests on the hate towards those that enjoy a comfortable position, namely, upon envy.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

Socialist thought owes its ap...

Socialist thought owes its appeal to the young largely to its visionary character; the very courage to indulge in Utopian thought is in this respect a source of strength for socialism which traditional liberalism sadly lacks. Speculation about general principles provides an opportunity for the play of the imagination of those who are unencumbered by much knowledge of the facts of present-day life. Their ideas suffer from inherent contradictions, and any attempt to put them into practice must produce something utterly different from what they expect.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

The power which a multiple mi...

The power which a multiple millionaire, who may be my neighbor and perhaps my employer, has over me is very much less than that which the smallest "functionaire" possesses who wields the coercive power of the state, and on whose desecration it depends whether and how I am allowed to live or to work.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

Money is one of the greatest ...

Money is one of the greatest instruments of freedom ever invented by man. It is money which in existing society opens an astounding range of choice to the poor man, a range greater than that which not many generations ago was open to the wealthy

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

It seems to be almost a law of human nature that it is easier for people to agree on a negative program - on the hatred of an enemy, on the envy of those better off - than on any positive task.

To be controlled in our economic pursuits means to be controlled in everything.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

A society that does not recog...

A society that does not recognise that each individual has values of his own which he is entitled to follow can have no respect for the dignity of the individual and cannot really know freedom.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

[Socialistic] economic planni...

[Socialistic] economic planning, regulation, and intervention pave the way to totalitarianism by building a power structure that will inevitably be seized by the most power-hungry and unscrupulous.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

The more the state "plans" the more difficult planning becomes for the individual.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

Economic control is not merel...

Economic control is not merely control of a sector of human life which can be separated from the rest; it is the control of the means for all our ends. And whoever has sole control of the means must also determine which ends are to be served, which values are to be rates higher and which lower, in short, what men should believe and strive for.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

The argument for liberty is n...

The argument for liberty is not an argument against organization, which is one of the most powerful tools human reason can employ, but an argument against all exclusive, privileged, monopolistic organization, against the use of coercion to prevent others from doing better.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

The [classical] liberal, of c...

The [classical] liberal, of course, does not deny that there are some superior people -- he is not an egalitarian -- but he denies that anyone has authority to decide who these superior people are.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

It can hardly be denied that ...

It can hardly be denied that such a demand quite arbitrarily limits the facts which are to be admitted as possible causes of the events which occur in the real world.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

We know: of course, with rega...

We know: of course, with regard to the market and similar social structures, a great many facts which we cannot measure and on which indeed we have only some very imprecise and general information.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

If most people are not willin...

If most people are not willing to see the difficulty, this is mainly because, consciously or unconsciously, they assume that it will be they who will settle these questions for the others, and because they are convinced of their own capacity to do this.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

To act on the belief that we ...

To act on the belief that we possess the knowledge and the power which enable us to shape the processes of society entirely to our liking, knowledge which in fact we do not possess, is likely to make us do much harm.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

'Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

I regard it in fact as the great advantage of the mathematical technique that it allows us to describe, by means of algebraic equations, the general character of a pattern even where we are ignorant of the numerical values which will determine its particular manifestation.

Friedrich Hayek 266 quotes

The state itself becomes more and more identified with the interests of those who run things than with the interests of the people in general.
