Hayek argues that socialism has, from its origins, been mistaken on factual, and even on logical, grounds and that its repeated failures in the many different practical applications of socialist ideas that this century has witnessed were the direct outcome of these errors. He labels as the fatal conceit the idea that man is able to shape the world around him according to his wishes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe achievement of \u003ci\u003eThe Fatal Conceit\u003c\/i\u003e is that it freshly shows why socialism must be refuted rather than merely dismissed--then refutes it again.--David R.
