I wish I could help, but this is the closest I could come:
"The recognition of the insuperable limits to his knowledge ought indeed to
teach the student of society a lesson of humility which should guard him
against becoming an accomplice in men's fatal striving to control society - a
striving which makes him not only a tyrant over his fellows, but which may well
make him the destroyer of a civilization which no brain has designed but which
has grown from the free efforts of millions of individuals."
F. A. Hayek, The Pretense of Knowledge
