What is the 'fatal conceit'?

Accoding to F A Hayek


who  labels it as the socialists "fatal conceit",  it is the the idea that "man is able to shape the world around him according to his wishes."


Hayek argues that socialism has, from its origins, been mistaken on factual, and even on logical, grounds and that its repeated failures in the many different practical applications of socialist ideas that this century has witnessed were the direct outcome of these errors.


So there!
