Hayek - Evolution and Spontaneous Order

Friedrich Hayeks lecture on Evolution & Spontaneous order at the 1983 - 33rd Meeting of Nobel Laureates at Lindau.

We know that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is accepted by natural scientists. It describes how biological systems spontaneously evolve by the mechanism of natural selection. But is a similar spontaneous evolution taking place in areas of social construction and cultural behaviour? Friedrich von Hayek argues that this is the case. He underlines the complexity of the social systems and gives an historic overview reaching all the way back to Aristotle. As well as comparing and contrasting the mechanisms of natural and social evolution, and outlining the role of social evolution in the development and maintenance of civilisation.

i hate to be picky but the white and black captioning on the background of black and white titles makes the closed captioning nearly impossible to read... :-(

@poninonis You can move the subtitles. Just click, drag & drop somewhere less white. By the way thanks for alerting me to this problem I would not have realised otherwise.

@Malthus0 oh nice - now translation (although not perfect) will be possible :-)

If you would send me that file I would - after some time... - make a professional translation for you. I can't upload such long videos, so you would have to add another subtitles to your video.

@Malthus0 Thank you. I look forward to the video lecture.
