Hayek's Unanswered Question

Hayek spent his life arguing for man's freedom. The Fatal Conceit was his last contribution to that effort. The question, though, is how man should then use that freedom. And that is the question Hayek was unable to answer because he could not cross the faithful threshold. Nevertheless, he recognised, in his final published words, that "on that question may rest the survival of our civilization".

- Read the whole thing, its very good.

I think, Hayek won. No one human is capable of giving all answers and he believed in that and he vindicated himself by not having answers. Now, the burden is on us and the future generations to answer that question.
