1 A.M. MacLeod, ‘Justice and the Market,’ Canadian Journal of Philosophy, this issue, 551-61. MacLeod focuses on the chapters, ‘The Quest for Justice’ and “Social” or Distributive Justice’ (especially the latter) of Hayek's, The Mirage of Social Justice, volume II of Law, Legislation and Liberty (Chicago: University of Chicago Press 1973)Google Scholar. Parenthetical page citations in the text are to this volume. This note derives from a commentary on MacLeod's paper presented at the 1982 Western Meetings of the American Philosophical Association.

3 Hayek's, most systematic discussion is in Rules and Order, volume I of Law, Legislation and Liberty, especially the chapter, ‘Cosmos and Taxis’ (Chicago: University of Chicago Press 1973)Google Scholar.

4 The specifically economic aspect of this claim is elegantly developed in Hayek's contribution to the debate about the possibility of rational socialist calculation. See the three essays on Socialist Calculation in Hayek's, Individualism and Economic Order (Chicago: Henry Regnery Co. 1972)Google Scholar.

5 On the social level Hayek's distinction between spontaneous and organizational societies is reminiscient of Herbert Spencer's distinction between ‘industrial’ and 'militant’ societies.
