In a nutshell, the point I find the most interesting - Friedrich Hayek perhaps didn't value laissez-faire freedom so much for its own sake, but so the "supermen" of society would have room to do their awesome thing -- making us all better off.
An instrumental definition of freedom from the father of neoliberalism....! So long John Locke.
