Hayek (1)
"Because all the details of the changes constantly affecting the conditions of demand and supply of the different commodities can never be fully known, or quickly enough be collected and disseminated, by any one centre, what is required is some apparatus of registration which automatically records all the relevant effects of individual actions, and whose indications are at the same time the resultant of, and the guide for, all the individual decisions.
This is precisely what the price system does under competition, and which no other system even promises to accomplish. It enables enterpreneurs, by watching the movement of comparatively few prices, as an engineer watches the hands of a few dials, to adjust their activites to those of their fellows. The important point here is that the price system will fulfil this function only if competition prevails, that is, if the individual producer has to adapt himself to price changes and cannot control them. The more complicated the whole, the more dependent we become on that division of knowledge between individuals whose separate efforts are coordinated by the impersonal mechanism for transmitting the relevant information known by us as the price system."
"Road to serfdom", de l'economista austríac F.A. Hayek, mereixeria ser transcrit íntegrament aquí. Per qüestions espacio-temporals (i segurament legals) només en reproduiré els passatges que consideri més rellevants a mesura que el vagi llegint. Les 70 pàgines que en porto llegides m'han convençut, sense cap mena de dubte, que aquesta hauria de ser lectura obligatòria no a la Universitat ni a la Secundària, sinó directament a Primària, amb la possibilitat d'introduir-ne versions adaptades al parvulari. Començo citant la seva claríssima exposició del perquè de la necessitat d'un mecanisme de preus lliures pel correcte funcionament de l'economia.

Jo m-estic llegint un lleuger llibre escrit al segle XVIII per un escocès. Em sembla que Hayek tampoc no és tan innovador.
