Tao Te Ching

“Adam Smith was the first to perceive that we have stumbled upon methods of ordering human economic cooperation that exceed the limits of our knowledge and perception... We are led—for example by the pricing system in market exchange—to do things by circumstances of which we are largely unaware and which produce results that we do not intend.”

— Friedrich Hayek 1899 – 1992 CE
from The Fatal Conceit (1988)
