Excellent piece here.

Implicit in the idea of moral evolution is the idea that there is an optimal state that morals evolve to. Things like ‘don’t steal, don’t cheat, don’t lie, use honest weights and measures.’

Those things come from somewhere higher, and they produce something approaching an optimal state when performed. Hayek doesn’t go there, but the implication is relatively clear in his work, at least as I see it.

Time to buy a copy of Road to Serfdom. I read lots of Hayek about 10 years ago for school.
