Hayek and Popper on ignorance and intervention

Author

  • KERSTENETZKY, CELIA LESSA

Abstract

Does limited social knowledge inhibit government intervention or, conversely, demand it? This article confronts these two positions, as they are respectively advocated by Hayek and Popper, and sets out to substantiate the belief that Popper's view is the more coherent one.
