In 1937 Walter Lippmann wrote that "the Good Society has no architectural design. There are no blueprints." He leaned heavily on the work of Mises and Hayek, who had written two years earlier that "we are not intellectually equipped to improve the working of our economic system by 'planning.' " Ironically, the response of the neoliberals to this insight was to immediately begin creating designs, blueprints, and plans, not at the scale of the nation but at the scale of the region and the world. The federation plans of Hayek, Robbins, and Mises were designed as prophylaxis—using institutions to suppress the emergence of special interest demands by design. One of the most critical special interests to suppress was the nation itself.
