Hayek's 109 birthday

From Cafe Hayek:

F.A. Hayek was born on this day in 1899. To mark this occasion, I offer a brief passage from page 104 of Hayek's 1973 book Law, Legislation, and Liberty, Vol. 1: Rules and Order:

Maintaining the overall flow of results in a complex system of production requires great elasticity of the actions of the elements of the system, and it will only be through unforeseeable changes in the particulars that a high degree of predictability of the overall results can be achieved.
