Dear Gunnar
apologies I have not responded for a thread you so kindly picked up.
I'll try to say more about this if I can, but this is not so much HAyek per se but my own retrieval of some of his ideas
there's a sense that by free thought is meant thought that is more than and not merely instrumental or consequentialist.

The big question of independence is independent of what? If being subservient to financial masters prevents free thought, does having independent means allow you to think freely about the problems of some people having independent means while the rest of the world cannot?
