Check out my latest piece with the #Mises Institute

The insights from both Hayek’s spontaneous order and Taoism invite us to reconsider the role of centralized control and intervention in economic systems. By embracing the spontaneity of markets, respecting the limits of our knowledge, and fostering individual autonomy, we create an environment that nurtures prosperity and harmony. Let us learn from the interconnectedness of these two philosophies and strive for a society where the intricate symphony of spontaneous order guides our economic interactions, leading to collective well-being and progress.

The Tao te ching is a wonderful treatise on how to govern the self and a nation by not trying to govern!

This is the Way

I really enjoyed your piece here BTW! Thanks for writing it!

Thanks! 🙏

The recognition of the insuperable limits to his knowledge ought indeed to teach the student of society a lesson in humility which should guard him against becoming an accomplice in men’s fatal striving to control society—a striving which makes him not only a tyrant over his fellows, but which may well make him the destroyer of a civilization which no brain has designed but which has grown from the free efforts of millions of individuals.

—Friedrich A. Hayek, The Pretense of Knowledge

Does tao explain who will build da roads?😜

If there is need for a road it shall be built, if there is not, then it will not be built.

The grasberg mine road in Indonesia is probably the best example of this reality.
