My summary of Hayek's "The Use of Knowledge in Society"

Even if equilibrium analysis is a useful preliminary to the study of the economic problem which society faces, namely the unavoidable imperfection of man's knowledge and the consequent need for a process by which knowledge is constantly communicated and acquired, it is high time to remember that it systematically leaves out the explanation of the very problem itself, of economic process.
