Yet Another Inadequate Placeholder.
It is important, when reading Hayek, to always bear in mind the distinction between Hayek-the-profound-social-scientist, and his evil twin, Hayek-the-right-wing-ideologue. The two are present, in my experience, within every book, sometimes both appearing within a single paragraph.

- Individualism and Economic Order ["The Use of Knowledge in Society" is superb, and in "Economics and Knowledge" he seems to have been channeling evolutionary game theory... In other essays, the evil twin is very much in evidence.]
