Hayek showed how in a free market the complex processes of producing and distributing goods and services to millions of individuals do not require socialist planners
This is almost laughable in its illogic.
This author is saying that individuals do not set up distribution channels and methods...that they came about "spontaneously."
ROTFLOL!
Tell that to your friendly neighborhood entrepreneurs. I'm sure they'll get a kick out of it.

Hayek said no such thing. Do you think that central planning IS necessary then? Are you a socialist?

You're right xzins. Markets, while they may "evolve" in response to economic factors, are not set up without intricate and detailed intelligent design.
The complex process for producing and distributing goods does not occur in the absence of detailed and specific planning. Logistics is an extemely complicated process and if the author is claiming that something as complicated as production and logistical delivery of products and services occurs without any intelligent design, then the author is as stupid as the amoebas the he somehow thinks are smart.
