To explain one of the core classical liberal concepts, IHS offers a video exploring the theme of spontaneous order.
The video features Bruce Caldwell, professor of economics at Duke University, describing the role of spontaneous order in society. “Spontaneous orders are often contrasted with constructed orders,” Caldwell says. “The idea that you can have something that is not deliberately constructed, that is nonetheless beneficial, is quite a wonderful one.”
Caldwell explains that, despite some miscommunications across languages and cultures, emergent language is more effective than a universal language devised by experts.
