AB - The purpose of this article is to debunk neoliberal imaginaries, particularly by critically assessing theeconomic thought of Friedrich A. Hayek, the most prominent figure of neoliberalism. For this purpose, thisarticle will first review Hayek’s neoliberal economic thought and his critique of central planning as a “fatalconceit.” Then it will counter-critique Hayek’s critique of constructive rationalism by arguing that his conceptionof knowledge, which is the basis of his critique, is too narrow and undersocialized. Since knowledge isintrinsically social and intersubjective, networking, local planning, government intervention, and rational adjustmentfor evolutionary process is not only possible but also necessary. Thus it will argue that Hayek’s liberalthought falls into another fatal conceit, that is, a kind of liberal fatalism that human rationalities can do littlebut follow the logic of market.
