'''Individualism''', in contrast to [[socialism]] and all other forms of [[totalitarianism]], as described by noted economist [[Friedrich Hayek]], is based on the respect of [[Christianity]] for the individual man and the belief that it is desirable that men should be free to develop their own individual gifts. This philosophy, first fully developed during the [[Renaissance]], grew and spread into what we know as [[Western civilization]]. The general direction of social development was one of freeing the individual from the ties which bound him in [[feudal]] society.<ref>[http://www.iea.org.uk/files/upld-publication43pdf?.pdf ''Road to Serfdom'',] Friedrich A.
