	Catallactics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Friedrich Hayek used the term Catallaxy to describe a market economy.
		He was unhappy with the usage of the word "economy", feeling that the Greek root of the word - which translates as "household management" - implied that economic agents in a market economy possessed shared goals.
		Hayek derived the word Catallaxy from the Greek verb "katallassein" (or "katallattein") which meant not only "to exchange" but also "to admit in the community" and "to change from enemy into friend" (F.A. von Hayek, Law legislation and Liberty, Vol 2, 1976, pp.

	Barry, The Tradition of Spontaneous Order: Library of Economics and Liberty
		The assumption was that a catallaxy was tending towards equilibrium rather than being moved away by endogenous factors.
		Thus his concern, here, is not with the violation of a right to legitimately acquired property which social justice entails; his argument is that coercive redistributions of income reduce the real output of a catallaxy by suppressing those inequalities that act as signals to attract labor and capital to their most productive uses.
		Presumably his stance must be the conservative one that we ought not to disturb the existing structure by, say, the application of a natural law rectification rule, because this would disturb a prevailing order of expectations; the consequences of such disturbance cannot, of course, be known.

	Convention, Social Order, and the Two Coordinations
		Thus, the undesigned catallaxy depends on rules or conventions which in turn may be undesigned.
		The order of the catallaxy is like the naturally formed crystal, where microscopic local conditions lead each element to settle into its place.
		The leading example of a spontaneous order that is good in metacoordination is a catallaxy, "the special kind of spontaneous order produced by the market through people acting within the rules of the law of property, tort and contract" (Hayek 1976: 109).

		Endogenous standards are either invalid (a catallaxy has no goals of its own) or valid but unknowable (the goals of each individual can only be inferred from the very actions one is trying to judge).
		This is a really interesting analogy, but it is just an analogy, and to treat society or its pattern of economic exchanges as if it had a life of its own, as if it were in essence a super-individual, impedes understanding of what markets actually accomplish.
		Since the catallaxy itself has no goal and those of its component individuals cannot be known, an endogenous standard is not feasible; as for exogenous standards, they seem to be either unconvincingly grounded in emotion--like "everybody should have medical insurance"--or to have the imprimatur of sophisticated economic theory but to be grounded in error.

	SOCIAL CONTRACTARIANISM OF MARKETS IN THE LITERATURE: HAYEK, BUCHANAN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In the history of economic thought, this conflict and differentiation between the moral/ethical and economic sides of human society are shown to be epistemologically grounded in occidental thought.
		Now the convergence of the market order to Hayek's concept of market catallaxy and to the utilitarian nature of liberal institutions is once again repeated.
		There is indeed a close resemblance between Nozick's entitlement bundles found in the state of nature and his concept of distributive justice under the framework of minimal intervention by the state and both Hayek's and Buchanan's social contractarianism germinating in the pure market order and then defining the possibility of post-constitutional contracts.

	Chapter 9
		It is because the best total social income may occur in a society where distribution of benefits and burdens is so grossly unfair that we would condemn it on moral grounds.
		For the case not to be so extreme, simply imagine any society divided into those who work hard and those who work much less, with those who work the hardest, often receiving the least share of the aggregate.
		Of course, a catallaxy or any economy could operate that way; but it is doubtful that it should, and that there would not be a better catallaxy or economy.

		He is anxious to put the study of economics, or catallaxy on the same footing as other sciences, although he recognises the difficulties posed for economics by the Popperian burden of falsifiability.
		In this discussion of the characteristics of catallaxy I hope to shed some light on the reasons for the preference for markets as a form of political organisation, and particularly on the importance of 'competition' in the restructuring of education.
		The 'evolutionary' metaphor provides economists with a pseudo-scientific basis for preferring the market, but does not adequately account for the diversity of cultural formations, nor does it give any adequate reason why any other existing social formations should not be regarded with the same respect, even awe, which they reserve for the market.

		Today, it has become customary to refer to this web as the local, national, and even world "economy." The value of using "catallaxy" instead would be to clearly differentiate between economies proper and their interrelation with one another.
		Elimination of this confusion would prevent attempts to impose organizational structures and goals appropriate to an economy onto an order that is fundamentally different, and one for which such structures and goals are both inappropriate and inapplicable.
		Oxford defines "cosmos" as "the universe as an ordered whole; an ordered system of ideas, etc; the sum total of experience." "Catallaxy" and "cosmos" are synonyms for this self-organizing and self-regulating system, although catallaxy is more specific to human affairs, especially to market phenomena.

		In contrast, "catallaxy" is a mass of innumerable economies, without a specific and common purpose and unitary hierarchy of ends, in which essential means to these ends, i.
		In a catallaxy, because of complex division of knowledge in contemporary society, no single mind or group can collect fully comprehensive information.
		The second point in Hayek's critique of constructive rationalism can be related to the concept of "the extended order," which is established in catallaxy through the market and social division of labour.

	Bibliographical Essay, Barry Spontaneous Order: The Online Library of Liberty
		[86] Thus his concern, here, is not with the violation of a right to legitimately acquired property which social justice entails; his argument is that coercive redistributions of income reduce the real output of a catallaxy by suppressing those inequalities that act as signals to attract labor and capital to their most productive uses.
		While it is clear that political systems do not automatically develop corrective mechanisms, it is noticeable that Hayek does not want to restore the workings of the catallaxy and cosmos by rationalistic natural law limitations on what governments may actually do but, rather, to subject their behavior to strict legalistic and formalistic requirements.
		Hayek is no doubt correct in identifying the main disruptive threat to the preservation of a spontaneous order as the inevitable formation, under present democratic rules, of coalitions of interests which divert the stream of income in a catallaxy to politically-favored groups - to the ultimate harm of all.

	Chapter 8
		In Hayek's terms, there is no reason to believe that a catallaxy with some limitations or boundaries or unimposed operating principles is significantly less a catallaxy, or that if it is significantly less, that it is less in some important or crucial way.
		To say that a modified or principled catallaxy is not a catallaxy in important ways, or that it does not give the same benefits as a totally unprincipled or purely arbitrary or licentious catallaxy, would require further argument.
		Hayek's notion of a catallaxy not to be tampered with in terms of overall result seems to me to make sense only in circumstances where individuals are in some sense economically independent of each other, whereby someone's or some group's increased prosperity does not take away from another's status quo.

		In mocking the excessive sensitivity of the left to racial and sexual differences the right has ended up where the left was in the 1960s, trying to offend basic decency and disrupt social order.

		The main goal of the project is to evaluate a decentralized economic control andcoordination mechanism, the Catallaxy paradigm, for the decentralized control of dynamic application layer networks.
		The project partners will compare the performance of the decentrally operated dynamic application network with a baseline system consisting of a centrally controlled application network, to assess the feasibility of the approach.
		Considering this, the project partners propose an assessment of a fully decentralized economic approach to resource allocation, the Catallaxy paradigm, for managing distributed application layer networks.

		They lead in turn to the spontaneous evolution of money which encourages a further division of labor, both of which, like prices, are unintended and undesigned social institutions.
		These along with other undesigned institutions, such as the Common Law, mesh together to produce a spontaneous social order or what Hayek has called a "catallaxy." The rules that emerge from institutions such as markets and from the Common Law can then be discovered, studied, and implemented by man to establish the Rule of Law.
		But as can be seen, the rules are not imposed from without to create order, but rather are immanent in the emergent social processes that, as if led by an invisible hand, themselves lead to orderly social institutions which in turn lead to an even wider social interdependence and coordination.

		The objective of the CATNETS proposal is to determine the applicability of a decentralized economic self-organization mechanism for resource allocation in application layer networks (ALN), by (1) producing a "proof-of-concept" prototype in a real ALN and (2) by evaluating its performance against existing resource brokerage approaches in a simulated ALN.
		CATNETS targets (1) to implement and evaluate Catallactic resource allocation as "proof-of- concept" prototype in a real ALN and (2) to test the properties and limitations of the Catallaxy approach using network simulation.
		Both approaches will share a common design of Catallaxy mechanisms applied to computer networks, including the appropriate messaging protocols needed to achieve dynamic negotiation and self-organization, metadata and the utility functions of the network agents.

	Hit and Run
		When F.A. Hayek wanted to illustrate the distinction between two forms of rationalism, the "constructivist" variety he considered so harmful and the "critical" (evolutionary, piecemeal) sort of which he approved, his exemplars of each type were the legal systems of France and Britain, respectively.
		So fans of the Caliph of Catallaxy, as well as our more straightforwardly misogallic readers, may be interested in this Legal Affairs piece, which looks at the scholarly debate over statistical evidence that countries whose legal systems are rooted in British common law tend to fare better than those based on the French civil code.

		These are a private sector, private property, free enterprise, profit, unequal distribution of wealth, competition, self-organization (or catallaxy), the existence of markets (including the labor market) and the capitalist class and the proletariat, and the pursuit of self-interest.
		This phenomenon is called "self-organization." Friedrich Hayek coined the term "catallaxy" as a market where "spontaneous order" emerges when no centralized control source (government) overrides decisions of individuals pursuing their own ends.
		However, in all large-scale modern economies the State conducts a degree of centralized economic planning (using such tools as allowing the country's central bank to set base interest rates), ostensibly as an attempt to improve efficiency, attenuate cyclical volatility, and further particular social goals.
