Hayek ripped G. W. F. Hegel in ’s third part for his “historicismâ€â€”the idea, in Hayek’s terminology, that history moves in set and predictable stages. He considered this idea fatally flawed and societies that were based on it to be unsuccessful, unproductive, and unfree. Historicism denies free will. The future is what we make of it.
