Through the study of Hayek's economic ethics thought, the paper question: Is market economy a free existing way of people or not? Why is possible?The soul of Hayek's economy ethics thought lies in: Give freedom with good, virtue and purpose. Having announced the tool meaning with free economy, thinking economy freedom can become a effective means to promote the development of economy; Its defects lie in: Insist in the course of market economy that the form is free, object to the real freedom. Conclude that government's power has natural fierce nature, therefore stand for implementing market economy of liberalism, object to the economic activity of government interference market. Assert market" invisible hand " and profit, reason can facilitate people's freedom automatically.Market economy is regarded as a kind of special economic form in the history of mankind. It is also a kind of free existing way of people. It has a meaning of freedom. The key to the question lies in: only the market cannot realize people's freedom completely, it must depend on the function of other factors. " Invisible hand " and profit, reason can't facilitate people's realization in market economy of freedom automatically. Insisting in form freedom really has a great meaning. But it only keep the touchdown. Hayek had made a grievous mistake because he treated other dimensions of freedom with indifference. In fact, we should view freedom from politic to economy, from equality to difference, from form to essential. If people want to get the freedom in market economy, they should depend on "invisible hand" and "visible hand". Freedom is not only the aims of economic development, but also the tools of economic development. So market economy as a free economy, have two meanings, that is: the first, the course of market economy should be free; the second, the result of market economy should accord with people's free nature.
