Are there non-statist Hamiltonians?

No; but there can be appeals to the middle class that rely upon the limited use of state power to promote individual and family enterprise and achievement.

Are there non-statist Hamiltonians?

To some people Hayek was a statist. It's a word very much like "fascist", in that it simply means "somebody I don't like".

Joe used the word.
