F.A. Hayek was not a free market fundamentalist

He was quite quite different from Mises.

F.A. Hayek was not a fan of free market fundamentalism.

“Probably nothing has done so much harm to the liberal cause as the wooden insistence of some liberals on certain rules of thumb, above all the principle of laissez faire.” — The Road To Serfdom.

He wrote this in 1944.

Of course, the word “liberal” had a different meaning back then.
