Talk:Catallactics

message: I think the Wikipedia fits well the definition of catallaxy that Hayek gave it: a self-organizing system of voluntary co-operation; but instead of a free market of dollars and cents we have a free encyclopedia of words and letters.--Nathan w cheng 09:16, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: Without taking away from the existing content, it is nevertheless crude and so rudimentary as to be misleading.
The topic deserves a learned summary of Hayek's extensive treatment of catallaxy in Law, legislation and Liberty, specifically, but not only, Vol II.  Not just the rather dumbed-down and extremely truncated quote cited here thus far (did it come from quotable quote web site?).
It is intriguing to note that the intellectual and ideological defence for robber baron capitalism is so ill defined in this American forum, since the USA today is the home to the most unbridled form of it in the world.
I would be grateful if I were spared the rather trite, but apparently obligatory lecture that if I see a flaw here I should seek to rectify it myself.
The simple truth is that the work is complex, time-consuming and bound to meet with the petulant disapproval of some snot-nose without the necessary education to evaluate it, but with the sufficient connection to administrators to vandalise it.  
I prefer to direct my energies in undertaking this work, and it is work I am undertaking, in a manner that is not quite so subject to a deplorable American tendency towards anti-intellectual reductionism, particularly in the humanities, so evident here these days.

thread_title:  Where is the weighty treatment by Hayek? 

message: Joseph Heath writes about the catallactic bias in contemporary social contract theory and political philosophy in The Benefits of Cooperation Philosophy and Public Affairs, 34 (2006): 313-351. Heath writes that "...much of contemporary social contract theory has been marked by what might be referred to as a catallactic bias, which result[s] from a tacit conceptual privileging of gains from trade as the primary mechanism of cooperative benefit." Heath suggests the invisible hand theorem of welfare economics has been a source of this catallactic bias, and that "...this theorem focuses only upon one mechanism of cooperative benefit to the exclusion of all others." For the record, Joseph Heath identifies five independent mechanisms of cooperative benefit, as follows.
# Economies of scale
# Gain from trade
# Risk pools
# Self binding
# Information transmission
