Throughout his life Hayek shied away from offering a running commentary on day-to-day politics, preferring instead to maintain the philosophical distance necessary to contemplate serious problems with a profundity nearly unequaled in the 20th century.

Nelson has viewed much of the world’s modern history through the lens of a special witness of Christ.
