tuonullc markets as complex adaptive systems.
Paralleling Holling, Hayek argued that it was ultimately impos-
sible for central planners to control or even to predict the gyra-
tions of the market effectively.7s In his Nobel Prize acceptance
speech, "The Pretense of Knowledge" (1974), Hayek argued
that public expectations concerning the ability of science to
analyze and then mold society were vastly exaggerated, partially
as a result of the magnitude of achievement in the natural
sciences during the modern period.76 Deep knowledge of society,
Hayek argued, tends to dampen rather than stimulate aspira-
tions for improvement. Yet the public is so hungry for hope that
it is willing to believe virtually any flimflam pronounced in the
name of "expert knowledge." While this might sound like a
