Answer 2

Hello my friend, it's been awhile...

The invisible hand is a metaphor used by the economist Adam Smith. Once in The Wealth of Nations and other writings, Smith shoed that, in a free market, an individual going after his own self-interest usually tends to also promote the good of his community, or environment as a whole through a principle that he called “the invisible hand”. He argued that each person maximizing revenue for himself maximizes the total revenue of society as a whole, as this is identical with the sum total of individual revenues.
