Adrian Salbuchi, a political analyst, author, speaker and radio/TV commentator in Argentina posts on “RT questions more” HERE 

“All economic and social woes are explained away as resulting from the “laws of the economy” and the “invisible hand of the market”.  Economists’ theorizing mumbo-jumbo never tells you is that the “invisible hand” is moved by a muscular “arm” that is directed by a perverse brain…”

Stefan Silber writes on “Himanism and Violence” in US HERE 

“Mandeville declared: private vices become public virtues. Adam Smith changed this into the invisible hand of the market: the evil is the good. The evil, the exploitation, is only seemingly evil. The invisible hand of the market transforms it into a contribution to the general interest so it becomes the good.”

GK: Unmitigated nonsense about Adam Smith – I blame modern economists for misrepresenting Adam Smith (I have no qualms about Bernard Mandeville description; Smith describes his philosophy as “licentious”).
