海耶克論保守主義

以為海耶克是新自由主義者,反對社會變更的人,應該看看以下的引文:

Conservatism, though a necessary element in any stable society, is not a social program; in its paternalistic, nationalistic, and power-adoring tendencies it is often closer to socialism than true liberalism; and with its traditionalistic, anti-intellectual, and often mystical propensities it will never…appeal to the young and all those others who believe that some changes are desirable if this world is to become a better place. A conservative movement, by its very nature, is bound to be a defender of established privilege and to lean on the power of the government for the protection of privilege. The essence of the liberal position, however, is the denial of all privilege, if privilege is understood in is proper and original meaning of the state granting and protecting rights to some which are not available on equal terms to others. (The Road to Serfdom, preface 1956, xxxvi)

  1. 但佢在這本書中一直沒有好好處理何謂經濟上的自由的問題,
    沒有具體
    只有許多對共產和社會主義非常片面的負面批價, 很清楚是一種冷戰社會下的作品,
    他的出發點近乎與社會主義者一樣, 他好像沒有看到這一點…
