Lippmann anticipated not only some principles, but also elements, of Friedrich Hayek's long-term strategy: Only steadfast, patient, and rigorous scientific work, as well as a revision of liberal theory, was regarded as a promising strategy to defeat "totalitarianism." Significantly, Lippmann's work discussed totalitarianism primarily with regard to the absence of private property, rather than the more commonplace reference to a lack of democracy or countervailing political power.
