Too many "it" pronouns in the second clause. As a translator, I wag my finger.

Agreed but I think he originally wrote this in English, which was, alas, not Hayek's first language.

Hey, wasn't trying to troll. In English, we have the neuter 'it', which doesn't distinguish antecedents. Hard to parse in our idiom.

Nah it is ok. I got the jist, but I feel it could be clearer. German/French to English requires a bit of a hiatus and pause.
