Also, didn't Hayek support some amount of government provided welfare? My understanding is that he basically said, "Hey, in the right doses, it probably makes some peoples' lives better who would otherwise be miserable, and our society is rich enough to afford the harm that it causes at the social level (e.g., economic inefficiencies), so why not?"

I heard this second- or third-hand, though, so I may be mischaracterizing his views.
