Steve Fleetwood argues that understanding how agents communicate knowledge and cope with ignorance leads directly to a focus upon social rules which is essential in addressing the question of order, and he illustrates how it is possible to abandon the notion of equilibrium without falling into analytical anarchy. |

| Publisher Description: In a society where no central agency coordinates the human activity of producing, selling and buying, why is there order and not chaos? This fundamental question has taxed generations of economists. Hayek's notion of spontaneous order goes some way to providing an answer. |
