Knight's economics centered on the spirit of radical questioning. Knight, of strong libertarian strain, valued individual liberty to the rejection of institutions, such as Christianity & communism. He viewed the world as a secularist Calvinist, seeing private property & the marketplace as evidence of original sin. As Calvinism possessed a commitment to local democracy within its churches, Knight believed that citizens must find their value bases for social actions through the "internal political processes of deliberation" & the democratic process of discussion.

The market & personal property, although imperfect, were the best outlets for the human strivings for power & advantage. 50 References. L. A. Hoffman
