Dear Robert,



That might be the dialogue between Hayek and Kinji Imanishi (1902-1992).

The book form was published in Japanese by NHK Books in 1979.



Imanishi was a specialist in cultural anthropology and animal sociology.

In Hayek’s terminology, Imanishi discovered “a spontaneous order”

among each group of Japanese monkeys which inhabited in a small mountain

(the so-called monkey mountain, separated from each other).

Imanishi solely resorted to “observation” as his research method.



As far as I know, Hayek somehow got to know Imanishi first

and approached him to have a talk.



Aiko Ikeo
