world. Friedrich Hayek , http www.econlib.org library Essays hykKnw1.html The Use of Knowledge in Society Wikipedia itself provides an example of the dispersed knowledge concept. In fact, the founder ...Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In economics , dispersed knowledge , also known as partial knowledge , is information that is dispersed throughout the marketplace, and is not in the hands of any single agent. All agents in the market have imperfect knowledge however, they all have a good indicator of everyone else s knowledge and intentions, and that is the price . The price indicates information that the player does not know, and by deciding to buy, sell or abstain at that price it also gives the player a chance to bring their knowledge to bear and reflect itself in the price. Most of the knowledge, however, is tacit knowledge and people usually are not fully aware of the knowledge that they are sharing via price signals, nor do they fully perceive the knowledge that they use when they make a price decision. When a buyer goes to market, the prices he or she finds therein for products and services have been set by the complex calculus that is the sum total of the tacit knowledge residing within the market. Price signal s are one possible solution to the economic calculation problem . This viewpoint is popular especially among Austrian School economists such as Friedrich Hayek . The problem is thus in no way solved if we can show that all the facts, if they were known to a single mind as we hypothetically assume them to be given to the observing economist , would uniquely ... each of whom possesses only partial knowledge.
