"catallaxy"
The extent of the innovation that any individual can produce is necessarily limited, for each individual must employ in his research the tools that he acquires from a traditional education, and he cannot in his own lifetime replace them all
 
Kuhn, Thomas S.
The Copernican Revolution
1957 , p. 183

 

About Catallaxy Institute

Founded on March 2009 in St. Moritz, Switzerland, Catallaxy Institute is an international association whose long-term aim is to contribute to develop and divulgate the principles and values of the classical tradition of liberalism.

A reason why St. Moritz was chosen as the founding location is that three of the most influential works of classical liberalism of the last century (F.A. Hayek’s The Constitution of Liberty; M. Friedman’s Capitalism and Freedom and B. Leoni’s Freedom and the Law) are the result of lectures and discussions that Hayek, Friedman and Leoni, among others, had in 1957 in St. Moritz during a series of meetings organized by the Mont Pelerin Society (Kemp, A., introducing Leoni, B., 1991, Freedom and the Law (Liberty Fund, Indianapolis), p. xiii).

Catallaxy Institute is regulated by its Statute.

Catallaxy Institute's founding members are Giovanni Birindelli (president), Alexander Wulf (vice president), Juan Diego Serrano and Oleksiy Kurka

"A catallaxy is thus the special kind of spontaneous order produced by the market through people acting within the rules of the law of property, tort and contract".F. A. von Hayek, Law Legislation and Liberty (London, 1982), Vol. 2 (1976), pp. 108-109.
