Hayek’s American Road project was subordinate to a larger liberal movement

Evidence

In August 1945 Hayek conceived of the American Road project at Chicago as a subordinate part of a larger and more comprehensive scheme—a political movement to counter the intellectual traditions that would, as Hayek thought, inexorably lead to the emergence of totalitarian regimes throughout the Western world. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 737
