Austendo Chapter 16

Q: How does Hayek see that we can create a better world?
A: WE must be able to see the problem, and recognize it as the problem. This is easily enough done as we have the entirety of the past to lend examples of 'the wrong way.' But also, "we must have the courage to make a new start -- even if that means some reculer pour mieux sauter." (262) I think that means sacrifice for the better cause.

[edit] Actually, the literal definition, according to my wondrous online resource, is 'to move back for better jumping.' I can only assume that it means 'to take one step back in order to take two forward.' But who can know? Those crazy Frenchmen.
