Catalaxy (20th Century) Politics/Economics [1]

A theory of a desirable society, set out by the Austrian economist and
political theorist F. A. Hayek (1899-1992).

A 'catallxy' is a market order without planned ends, characterized by the
'spontaneous order' which emerges when individuals pursue their own ends
within a framework set by law and tradition. The function of government is
to maintain the rule of law which guarantees fair and equal procedures,
but is neutral as to goals.
