Hayek held that mixing spontaneous order with organization is never rational

Evidence

[I]t is impossible, not only to replace spontaneous orders by organization and at the same time to utilize as much of the dispersed knowledge of all its members as possible, but also to improve or correct this order by interfering in it by direct commands. Such a combination of spontaneous order and organization it can never be rational to adopt. — Philip Mirowski, Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste, 209
