Why is "I, Pencil" a See also link?

I didn't understand how it was related to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.234.15.239 (talk) 11:55, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is a different link to a story Rummboysrc (talk) 17:06, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hayek

Hayek is said to be a conservative theorist. He never referred to himself as a conservative person, but rather and old whig or a liberal. I'm not sure why he would be a conservative theorist anyway. I fail to see the relevancy of this quite random citation of him being a conservative.

The claim that Hayek argues spontaneous order being "a more efficient allocation of societal resources than any design could achieve" does sound like Hayek. However, the citation points elsewhere. I'm sure one could find a direct citation from the man himself, instead of relying on second hand information. Similarly, "Centralized statistical data, they suppose, cannot convey this information because the statistics are created by abstracting away from the particulars of the situation.[12]" is worded as Hayeks argument, even though the citation points elsewhere. It should probably either be worded properly or a direct citation is needed, and maybe David Boaz could be mentioned to point this out etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.128.136.239 (talk) 00:02, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Synthesis?

I'm not sure this article is about anything other than a particular ideological position on self-organisation. It is heavily biased towards Hayek et al and seems to be an attempt to add weight to this theories - that is to say, taking something from Haytek then seeking to find other material based on similar words to provide something which claims to be more objective than it is. ---Snowded ^TALK 09:05, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
