Rules, Authorities, and the Design of Not-for-Profit Firms
The growth of knowledge and the growth of civilization are the same only if we interpret knowledge to include all the human adaptations to environment in which past experience has been incorporated. Not all knowledge in this sense is part of our intellect, nor is our intellect the whole of our knowledge. Our habits and skills, our emotional attitudes, our tools and our institutions-are all in this sense adaptations to past experience which have grown up by selective elimination of less suitable conduct. Hayek, Constitution of Liberty
