'What has made men good is neither nature nor reason, but tradition.' This provocative maxim of FA Hayek contests any system of ethics centred upon concepts of virtue, duty, or consequence. It argues instead that custom is a surer and wiser guide in matters of morality than either intellect or instinct. This timely book builds upon Hayek's concepts of spontaneous order, catallaxy, and the fatal conceit to create a compelling account of the moral foundations of human achievement.In doing so, it articulates a morality fit for the unique times in which we are living.
