What Is the Invisible Hand? 什么是看不见的手? There are few concepts in the history of economics that have been misunderstood, and misused, more often than the "invisible hand." For this, we can mostly thank the person who coined this phrase: the 18th-century Scottish e conomist Adam Smith, in his influential books The Theory of Moral Sentiments and (much more importantly) The Wealth of Nations. 在经济学史上,很少有概念比“看不见的手”更容易被误解和误用。为此,我们要感谢创造这个短语的人:18世纪苏格兰经济学家亚当·斯密,他在其颇具影响力的著作《道德情操论》和更为重要的《国富论》中提出了这个词。 |
