When the Game Changed and We Didn't Notice
Think back to 1945. A dairy farmer named Antony Fisher picked up Friedrich Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom" and had an epiphany about free markets. But when he approached Hayek about entering politics, the economist gave him curious advice: don't bother with politics-influence the influencers instead. Fisher took this to heart, made millions introducing battery-chicken farming to Britain, then founded the Institute of Economic Affairs in 1955. This think tank would eventually arrange Margaret Thatcher's first meeting with Hayek, a moment so emotional that Hayek remarked, "She's so beautiful." What began with chicken farms transformed global politics. By 1981, Fisher's Atlas Economic Research Foundation had grown into a network of over 500 free-market organizations across 90 countries. This wasn't just about spreading ideas-it was about fundamentally rewiring how we think about human behavior, trust, fairness, and what we owe each other. The revolution succeeded not through force but through a gradual encroachment of economic thinking into every corner of our lives, until concepts like "everyone has their price" stopped sounding cynical and started sounding obvious.
