Spontaneous order, freedom and minimal state intervention in society: these are expressions that represent the essence of the author's thinking, which proposes a constitutional model as opposed to socialist ideas. Until today, the ideas found in reading the work of Friedrich August von Hayek have particular importance, because it proposes concepts to ensure the functioning of the state, especially with regard to the need for fixing the burden distributed to individuals, which requires a total control of public spending. It can not be denied that the work, published more than three decades ago, survives and serves as a stimulus to the State that aims to achieve the so-called fair taxation without neglecting the maintenance of spontaneous order as a necessity for the preservation of the free economy / No ano em que se acentuaram as contradições do sistema capitalista 1974 Friedrich August von Hayek escreveu a memorável obra Law, Legislation and Liberty (Direito, Legislação e Liberdade), alvo de estudo e análise do presente trabalho. Ordem espontânea, liberdade e intervenção mínima do Estado na sociedade: estas são as expressões que representam a essência do pensamento do autor, que sugere um modelo constitucional, em oposição às concepções socialistas. Até os dias atuais, as ideias expostas na leitura da obra de Friedrich August von Hayek assumem especial importância, pois propõem conceitos fundamentais para garantir o funcionamento do Estado, especialmente no que se refere à necessidade de fixação prévia do ônus que deve ser distribuído aos indivíduos, o que exige um controle total dos gastos públicos. Não se pode negar que a obra, publicada ha mais de três décadas, sobrevive e serve de estímulo para o Estado que almeja alcançar a denominada justiça fiscal sem olvidar a manutenção da ordem espontânea, necessária para a conservação da livre economia

Politics and social life are essentially about decision making, but great parts of that which politics aims to govern, that which social life revolves around and that which is studied in political science is not necessarily the result of conscious decisions. This some philosophers and political theorists would attribute to spontaneous order, arguing that certain norms, customs and institutions have evolved as the result of human action without, for that matter, being the result of human design. The theory of spontaneous order was primarily developed by the Austrian-British philosopher and economist Friedrich Hayek (1899–1992). To him, spontaneous order was a way of solving problems with information deficits in society as well as an important part of his economic, political and institutional theory. However, Hayek’s social theory, which is largely based on the idea of spontaneous order, gives rise to a number of questions. The purpose of this essay is to examine the relationship between individual freedom, constitutionalism and spontaneous order in Friedrich Hayek’s social theory, and to critically evaluate this relationship in the light of that same theory. The purpose is achieved through critical analysis and by answering the following three questions: How does individual freedom, constitutionalism and spontaneous order relate to each other according to Hayek? Is Hayek’s proposal for constitutional design logically compatible with the theory of spontaneous order? Are there institutions, according to Hayek, that limit individual freedom, but are legitimate nevertheless by virtue of having developed spontaneously? The general conclusion of the essay is that Hayek’s proposal for constitutional design is logically compatible with the theory of spontaneous order, and that the principles of individual freedom, constitutionalism and spontaneous order are related to each other in a logically valid manner, but that the other institutions that Hayek proposes give rise to contradictions and indeterminacy vis-à-vis the fundamental principles of his theory.
