Book •
Friedrich Hayek's "The Mirage of Social Justice" critically examines the concept of social justice and its implications for economic policy.
Hayek argues that the pursuit of social justice, as commonly understood, leads to unintended consequences and undermines individual liberty.
He challenges the notion of distributive justice, arguing that it is impossible to achieve without sacrificing individual freedom and economic efficiency.
The book explores the ethical and practical limitations of government intervention aimed at achieving social justice.
Hayek emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility and the spontaneous order of the market.
He contends that a free market, while imperfect, is the most effective system for promoting both individual well-being and overall social progress.
