Erasing the Invisible Hand: Essays on an Elusive and Misused Concept in Economics
Samuels, Warren J. (Michigan State University)
This book examines the use, principally in economics, of the concept of the invisible hand, centering on Adam Smith. It interprets the concept as ideology, knowledge, and a linguistic phenomenon. It shows how the principal Chicago School interpretation misperceives and distorts what Smith believed on the economic role of government.
