Although there was a time when men believed that even language and morals had been ‘invented’ by some genius of the past, everybody recognizes now that they are the outcome of a process of evolution whose results nobody foresaw or designed.
But in other fields many people still treat with suspicion the claim that the patterns of interaction of many men can show an order that is of nobody’s deliberate making; in the economic sphere, in particular, critics still pour uncomprehending ridicule on Adam Smith’s expression of the ‘invisible hand’ by which, in the language of his time, he described how man is led ‘to promote an end which was no part of his intentions’.
