Reason and nature
Hayek, a famous British economist, famously said that "bounded rationality leads to spontaneous order". What do you mean? It can be understood as "man-made is limited and nature is infinite". Hayek advocated taking the road of free market, which is in sharp contrast with Keynes, a famous British economist, who advocated expanding the demand to boost the economy to promote the economy and ensure employment.

In 1950s and 1960s, Keynesian theory shone brilliantly, and economic expansion made western countries taste the sweetness. But in the 1980s, economic stagnation reminded people of Hayek's theory, a spontaneous and orderly free market, which reduced or avoided human intervention and promoted economic recovery.

Hayek's theory coincides with Zhuangzi's, obeying heaven and abandoning "man-made". Just like nature, the sun rises and sets in the west, and the four seasons alternate and cycle, which is natural and orderly, without any human factors. It can be understood that the long-term order comes from spontaneity, and it is deliberately difficult to last for a long time, which is also in line with Laozi's "Tao is nature".
