A Suggestion to Tim Hames
Tim Hames in The Times, 18 July 2005, “Thin Man gets it wrong (again”) which is an amusing piece on fellow journalist, Matthew Parris, about the turmoil in the Conservative Party over the election of a new leader.
Hames invokes the “invisible hand” from Adam Smith to make a point:
‘The “invisible hand” in Mr Cameron’s conservatism has not been that of Adam Smith, but Michael Howard’s support for him.’
I would have thought, given the context of an in-party fight for Leader that the version used by original writer of the invisible hand metaphor, William Shakespeare, in Macbeth (3.2.47), would have been more appropriate:
“The ‘bloody and invisible hand’ in Mr Cameron’s conservatism has not been that of William Shakespeare, but Michael Howard’s support for him.’
