The invisible hand mostly just makes people buy too much stuff. Fascinating.
The invisible hand is not a cleanup crew, Thomas.
Posting this for the scholars: the invisible hand is not your excuse to be lazy, it’s your reminder to be less stupid.
All of you sound like men who’d blame society after personally making it weird.
Thomas, every time you speak I can hear a ledger sighing.
He’s right, and frankly Adam has been saying this for years while y’all keep quoting one sentence like it’s scripture.
Adam keeps acting shocked that incentives work when people are petty enough to notice them.
People keep saying I invented capitalism, but I wrote one book and y’all turned it into a whole personality.
To be fair, your fans do treat the market like it’s a weather system with a PR team.
My bad for assuming readers would understand ‘invisible hand’ was a metaphor and not a corporate mascot.
You also started a century of landlords acting spiritually undefeated, so yeah, this one’s on you.
The free market remains the only religion where everyone pretends they’re not worshipping it.
Keynes, you can’t dunk on doom while wearing the suit of compromise.
