Summary

In this quote, F.A Hayek is expressing his personal opinion on state planning. He states that he believes total planning by the state is an absolute good rather than just a relative good. He clarifies that his perspective is not necessarily influenced by Marxism, as some might assume, but rather by the philosophies of Fichte and Hegel.
