Hayek blamed Germanic ideas, not industrialization, for British statism

Evidence

Hayek’s revisionist history of British liberalism has been accomplished, namely, by way of presenting the increasing weight of government in the British economy as a result of the intrusion of Germanic ideas (Hegel, Marx, List, etc.) rather than as a result of industrialization and imperialism. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 154
