Abstract

In The Wealth of Nations (1776), Adam Smith presented the basic case for the comparative efficiency of a capitalist market economy. According to Smith, within a competitive economy, an invisible hand turns self-interest toward the common good. The modern counterpart of Adam Smith&s;s invisible hand conjecture is the so-called Fundamental Theorem of Normative Economics .
