| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 歐洲研究所 === 83 === Hayek accepys the great theme of classical poli- tical economy
which emphasizes that most part of social phenomena is the
result of spontaneous co- llaboration of free men. Liberty is
the creative force for all civilization, and Hayek defines li-
berty as a condition of man in which the arbitrary coercion of
some by others is absent. But the only way of safeguarding
liberty depends on the execu- tive of the monopoly coercion
power of the state, therfore the sole purpose that the state
uses the power of coercion is to prevnet any individuality from
the illegal coercion by others including the state itself. This
the basic spirit of rule of law . Concerning the economic
policy, Hayek also advo- cates that the rule of law should
govern policy in this as in all other spheres because the the
free- dom of economic activity had meant freedom under the law.
In Hayek''s point of view, the socialism is tota- litarian in
essence, and the social justice it ho- ld had made it to
purchase the central planning e- conomy which conflicts with
rule of law, liberty and democracy. The safeguard of individual
liberty is inconsistent with the justice of social resour- ces
distribution. the other side, after the world warⅡ, the e-
coonomy reform carried out in West Germany by Ger- man neo-
liberals which have quite similar point of view wiht Hayek had
verified some Hayek''s view and the goodness of liberal economy.
