Yes indeed; but perhaps the problem is deeper than choice of political ideology; I would contend that : 1/ " Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand " is not just invisible but non-existent, and belief in it is a pathetic, irresponsible delusion.
All that Adam Smith's invisible hand means is that there is such a thing as aggregate economic activity by which subjective activity can lead to positive externalities, "frequently ... more effectually". that those who claim to be acting for the public interest intentionally. Seeming that I believe that Adam Smith's actual use of the "invisible hand" (from Wealth of Nations, Book 2, Chapter 2) is actually correct, I must be engaging in a "pathetic, irresponsible[,] delusion". -- Lev Lafayette, mobile: 61 432 255 208 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt
