ECO.9:11 - SoTA-Echoing

The institutional and cultural argument in Hayek’s The Fatal Conceit is a historical reason to inspect inherited coordination, not a presumption that inheritance is desirable. Baldwin and colleagues (2024) shows why long-term feedback and context matter in studying polycentric arrangements.

Its constructed cases demonstrate reasoning, not measured superiority of the selected arrangements. Reopen when the practice, participant capabilities, wider effects or grounds for retaining a rule change.
