Friedrich Hayek: The Problem With Social Justice

"Justice is an attribute of individual action; I can be just or unjust towards my fellow man. But the conception of a social justice – to expect an impersonal process which nobody can control to bring about a just result – is not only a meaningless conception, it's completely impossible."

— F.A. Hayek

A person holding down 3 jobs to keep their house and kids together, whose security from disaster stops at $500, or who receives less education because of their race. Do better on these basics and then we can talk about social justice.

LOL, leave it to some grumpy old dude throw out words like "impossible" and "meaningless" to describe systems where he wouldn't sit atop of... John Rawls seemed to do fine explaining his principals in his theory of justice and their application in creating systems that have a more just social outcomes than the current systems we have. Seems like Hayek isn't as well read as his advanced age and the OP channel would have us believe... this is basically just empty rhetoric.
