spontaneous order
(20th century)
Theory of Austrian social scientist Friedrich A. Hayek (1899-1992).
Social order is not deliberately created but arises out of the natural selection of those institutions and values and practices which are effective, so that a traditional framework develops over time within which individuals may operate securely.
