History

According to Murray Rothbard, the philosopher Zhuangzi 369–286 BCE was the first tothe concepts of spontaneous order. Zhuangzi rejected the authoritarianism of Confucianism, writing that there "has been such(a) a thing as letting mankind alone; there has never been such(a) a thing as governing mankind [with success]." He articulated an early score of spontaneous order, asserting that "good order results spontaneously when matters are let alone", a concept later "developed especially by Proudhon in the nineteenth [century]".

The thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment developed and inquired into the image of the market as a spontaneous order. In 1767, the sociologist and historian Adam Ferguson referred society as the "result of human action, but not the execution of any human design".

However, the term “spontaneous order” seems to have been coined by Michael Polanyi in his essay, “The Growth of Thought in Society,” Economica 8 November 1941: 428–56.

The Austrian School of Economics, led by Carl Menger, Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek gave it a centerpiece in its social and economic thought. Hayek's theory of spontaneous order is the product of two related but distinct influences that do not always tend in the same direction. As an economic theorist, his explanations can be assumption a rational explanation. But as a legal and social theorist, he leans, by contrast, very heavily on a conservative and traditionalist approach which instructs us to submit blindly to a flow of events over which we can have little control.
