The Socialists’ Hypotheses and the Road to Serfdom
This paper examines the writings of socialist scholars who played a pivotal role in shaping Friedrich Hayek’s perspective in The Road to Serfdom , including William Beveridge, Stuart Chase, Henry Dickinson, Hugh Dalton, Evan Durbin, Oskar Lange, Harold Laski, Abba Lerner, Barbara Wootton, and the contributing authors in Findlay MacKenzie’s Planned Society (1937). Many of these socialist thinkers held two main hypotheses. First, industrial concent…
The Road to Serfdom and the Definitions of Socialism, Planning, and the Welfare State, 1930-1950
There is a long-standing debate about whether the central hypothesis of F. A. Hayek's The Road to Serfdom, warning of the incompatibility between socialism and democracy, extended to welfare states. The empirical validity of Hayek's hypothesis hinges on his definition of socialism. We build on previous works contextualizing and interpreting The Road to Serfdom by examining the common definitions of socialism, capitalism, and the welfare state pri…
The spontaneous provision of criminal law
For decades, non-state actors have supplied criminal law in Brazil’s favelas. This paper offers a humanomics account of the private provision of an impure public good. Our analysis reaches three conclusions. First, criminal law can be provided without either public intervention or reliance on the price system. Informal norms may be sufficient, indicating that Adam Smith’s invisible hand logic extends beyond legal markets grounded in private prope…

The King's Gambit: Rationalizing the fall of the Templars
What can the fall of the Knights Templars teach us about medieval institutions? We highlight that the Templar's annihilation results from the institutional shock of Pope Clement V's decision to relocate the papacy from Italy to France. Prior to the relocation, an equilibrium persisted for more than a century where the Templars made loans to more powerful kings, with the reassurance that they were protected by the Church. The decision of Pope Clem…
