Glasses, moustache, German accent – case closed!

When you see the words “spontaneous order,” do you just naturally think “will to power”? When you flip through Prices and Production or The Pure Theory of Capital, do you hear the clarion call of the Übermensch?

You’re not alone. Corey Robin, too, has divined the hidden connection between Hayek and Nietzsche that more timid minds have missed.

But Kevin Vallier just won’t see the light. I guess Corey Robin didn’t send Kevin a hit of whatever he’s been using. Share the good stuff, Corey! Remember the gift-giving virtue!
