I would be especially appreciative if you'd elaborate just a bit
on what exactly makes Hayek's notion politically ergegious and absurd? And
I'd like to respectfully suggest that if you think that distributing price
information is the only way that market systems promote freedom, then you'd
better read some more Hayek (esp. The Fatal Conceit and The Sensory Order).
