Hayek said, "Not merely can human beings struggle to understand how to cope with uncertainty, but the world is just too complex for them to cope with understanding all of it. A market system conveys so much information that makes it feasible; central planning will fail under the weight of the impossibility of understanding the complexity of the economy." That's Hayek's most important insight, and if people had listened to that, they would never have been so worried about the threat from communism as they were, because central planning failed under the weight of its own inconsistency of central planning. \tn
