Inspired by Hayek's Postscript: Why I Am Not a Conservative to his 1960 book The Constitution of Liberty, I tried to find a general term to name a long sought condition of enlightenment and liberty, and failing to find one of adequate breadth and evocative power, I proposed that freeorder would serve. The word names a deep concept binding together kinds of order and quest, signifying a durable path to personal and shared adventures that for some of us enrich life with wonder and meaning. -leif smith
