From the section “Economic Policy and the Rule of Law” from Hayek’s “The Constitution of Liberty” where he frames the state as a steward of economic stigmergy. The question, I think, is how collective welfare can best be promoted while so constraining governmental activities.

Well one roadblock I think is defining collective welfare. It's easy for the subject to devolve into subject hot topics, rather than focus on empirically definable metrics.

Definitely - and personally I'm more inclined to think of this in terms of securing economic stability for as wide a section of the population as possible, but doing so without increasing the coercive powers of the state is a real challenge haha. Sort of like a welfare "rechtsstaat"
