Hayek is not a capitalist, he's a Social Darwinist who also believes - without a shred of evidence, given the shortness of the time spans under consideration - that free market capitalism gives groups an evolutionary advantage. That's a huge difference.
- freeflight 9y agoIsn't Social Darwinism just the outcome of arguing that "laissez-faire capitalism solves everything by weeding out the weak"? It has nothing at all to do with socialism and the Darwinism rather references Darwin's evolutionary concepts in a "survival of the fittest" way. Afaik it's nothing anybody would label themselves as.
