When Peter Boettke wrote: >>You know better ... self-defeating and self-contradictory ... is different than deterministic.<< Andrew Farrant replied: >>Can you name one writer who has read Hayek as making a deterministic argument?<< A google search of "Hayek" "inevitable" and "Road to Serfdom" returns 31,000 hits. Say only half of them are references to deterministics claims about an "inevitable" road to serfdom, attributed to Hayek. That's still a lot of references -- and a lot of authors. I can assure you there are more of the same in the literature produced by tenured professors -- and peer reviewed in the journals. Greg Ransom
