Basically saying taking these steps towards a planned economy or an economy that's a modified form of capitalism is going to could. He's very clear that this is not an inevitability. But if the same steps are taken and people follow the same line of thinking, we may end up in a sort of coercive totalitarian state. So this becomes enormously popular in the United States.

First of all, he's in good touch with Friedman's teachers, even before this book comes out. They see them as kindred spirits. Frank Knight is in touch with him. Henry Simons is in touch with him. They all see themselves as liberals. They call themselves old-fashioned, unreconstructed liberals. And so even before he becomes famous, Hayek will be trying to kind of organize thinkers and intellectuals

who he believes shares his values of what we would call today classical liberalism and to kind of create a counter consensus to the one that's gathering. Now, Hayek also chooses not to argue against Keynes and he feels that this is a huge missed opportunity that he should have staked out the case against Keynes and that because he did not, people come to believe there is no case against Keynes.

Keynes is literally unanswerable. So Hayek will have this great regret He will channel some of his regrets into sort of community building, specifically developing the Mont Pelerin Society. And it will fall to Friedman to really make that case against Keynes.

But Hayek will end up at Chicago, and Hayek really influences Friedman to think about what Hayek calls the competitive order and how the state— can and must maintain a competitive order. That is the system of laws, of norms, of practices that makes it possible for markets to function.

And this is one of these key differentiators between the older philosophy of laissez-faire and the newer reconceptualization of liberalism, which says, yes, we need a state.

We need a state that's not intervening in markets under social democratic auspices, but is structuring and supporting markets so that they can function with maximum freedom, keeping in mind that if there aren't basic social supports needed, the market is apt to generate the type of either inequality or social instability that will call the whole system into question.

So Hayek is really key in promoting this modified liberalism. But from being a very prominent economist in the 1920s and 1930s, as mathematics becomes the language of economics, Hayek is completely left out in the cold.
