Comments on: Is freedom inevitable? http://libertyisforme.blogivists.com/2008/03/06/is-freedom-inevitable/ A brown girl's perspective Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:24:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Richard Lorenc http://libertyisforme.blogivists.com/2008/03/06/is-freedom-inevitable/#comment-59 Richard Lorenc Thu, 06 Mar 2008 22:12:56 +0000 http://libertyisforme.blogivists.com/2008/03/06/is-freedom-inevitable/#comment-59 Besides positing that evolution and innovation cannot happen best when planned, Hayek also speculates that freedom's successes may be their actual undoing. Once society gets to a point of success, people get restless for all problems to be solved, and begin to reverse liberty in order to plan a faster way to prosperity. Our complex world does not need planning, but rather markets to decentralize decision-making and allow us to try out as many solutions as we can. Unfortunately, the more complex our world is, the more the statists will contend that we need a plan to steer it in the right direction. I don't think that freedom is inevitable--nothing is--which is why it's important that we work to advance it.

I don’t think that freedom is inevitable–nothing is–which is why it’s important that we work to advance it.

Have you ever read Douglas Adams? I think I'll post about it on my blog. In fact, I do believe that freedom is inevitable. Have you ever read Douglas Adams? I think I’ll post about it on my blog.
