The fatal conceit. . .

Nobel prize winning economist F.A.Hayek called socialism "the fatal conceit."

Why conceit?

Because socialism's basic premise, according to Hayek, is that "man is able to shape the world around him according to his wishes."

Why fatal? Because, like all falsehoods and misconceptions, it leads to failure, and sometimes disaster.

(The Health Care Fatal Conceit
by Star Parker )

"the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and He hath set the world upon them" (I Samuel 2.8).
