Hayek roots markets and morals in one ontology of spontaneously evolved tradition
Evidence
For Hayek, the relation of markets and morals in the neoliberal project has nothing to do with supplements, hybridity, resonance, convergence, or mutual exploitation. Rather, markets and morals, equally important to a thriving civilization, are rooted in a common ontology of spontaneously evolved orders borne by tradition. This ontology features perfect compatibility between and among discipline and freedom, inheritance and innovation, evolution and stability, authority and independence. — Wendy Brown, In the Ruins of Neoliberalism, 158
