FRIEDRICH HAYEK E O FUTURO DA UNIÃO EUROPEIA (IV): Conclusão
Em 1973, Hayek afirmou:"After the end of the Second World War there occurred once more a temporary revival of liberal ideas, due partly to a new awareness of the oppressive character of all kinds of totalitarian regimes, and partly to the recognition that the obstacles to international trade which had grown up during the inter-war period had been largely responsible for the economic depression. The representative achievement was the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) of 1948, but the attempts to create a larger economic unit such as the common market and EFTA also ostensibly in the same direction.”[3]
No entanto, as posições de Hayek anteriormente apresentadas são uma crítica directa aos excessos regulamentares e ao crescente centralismo e socialismo da União Europeia dos nossos dias. Simultaneamente, a proposta de Hayek traça o caminho de uma reforma liberal da UE...e das Nações Unidas
Esta proposta Hayekiana não se encontra entre as opções habitualmente discutidas (!) entre "federalistas" centralizadores e "anti-federalistas" (uma coligação onde se podem distiguir interesses opostos e muita vezes iliberais). Por esta razão, a federação liberal proposta por Hayek não se concretizará num futuro próximo. Mas fazendo coro com Hayek:“when socialism and nationalism have combined - not only in name – into powerful organizations which threaten the liberal democracies…is it too much too hope for real liberalism, true to its ideal of freedom and internationalism?”
