And where do propositions that 'sooth the imagination' come from? --The invisible hand, decision making, and working things out: conceptual and substantive problems --The invisible hand in an uncertain world with an uncertain language --The invisible hand as knowledge --The invisible hand and the economic role of government --The survival requirement of Pareto optimality --Conclusions and further insights.This book examines the use, principally in economics, of the concept of the invisible hand, centering on Adam Smith. It interprets the concept as ideology, knowledge, and a linguistic phenomenon. It shows how the principal Chicago School interpretation misperceives and distorts what Smith believed on the economic role of government. The essays further show how Smith was silent as to his intended meaning, using the term to set minds at rest; how the claim that the invisible hand is the foundational concept of economics is repudiated by numerous leading economic theorists; that several dozen identities given the invisible hand renders the term ambiguous and inconclusive; that no such thing as an invisible hand exists; and that calling something an invisible hand adds nothing to knowledge. Finally, the essays show that the leading doctrines purporting to claim an invisible hand for the case for capitalism cannot invoke the term but that other nonnormative invisible hand processes are still useful tools.Free enterpriseEconomicsCapitalismFree enterprise.Economics.Capitalism.330.12/2Samuels Warren J.1933-88996Johnson Marianne F(Marianne Frances),Perry William H.UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910457554303321Erasing the invisible hand1905988UNINA03560nam 22005175 450 991014942980332120230515055156.01-4426-5340-X1-4426-3793-510.3138/9781442653405(CKB)3710000000929671(MiAaPQ)EBC4730316(DE-B1597)479236(OCoLC)992454076(DE-B1597)9781442653405(OCoLC)962153863(MdBmJHUP)musev2_109122(EXLCZ)99371000000092967120170630d2017 fg engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierAn Elegant and Learned Discourse of the Light of Nature /Nathaniel Culverwell; Robert Greene, Hugh MacCallumToronto : University of Toronto Press, [2017]©19711 online resource (273 pages) illustrations, genealogical tableHeritageIncludes index.1-4426-3961-X Introduction ; Biography ; The Discourse and the context of religious controversy ; Culverwell and Bacon ; Voluntarism and innate ideas : Suarez, Herbert, Locke ; Culverwell and the Whichcote-Tuckney debate ; The form and argument of the Discourse ; The text -- "An Elegant and Learned Discourse of the Light of Nature" ; The porch, or introduction -- The explication of the words -- What nature is -- Of the nature of a law in general -- Of the eternal law -- Of the law of nature in general, its {nature/subject} -- The extent of the law of nature -- How the law of nature is discovered? not by tradition -- The light of reason -- Of the consent of nations -- The light of reason is a derivative light -- The light of reason is a diminutive light -- The light of reason discovers present, not future things -- The light of reason is a certain light -- The light of reason is directive -- The light of reason is calme and peaceable -- The light of reason is a pleasant light -- The light of reason is an ascendant light.Composed in a period of religious and political upheaval, Culverwell's "Discourse of the Light of Nature" is an imaginative statement of the teachings of Christian humanism concerning the nature and limits of human reason and the related concepts of natural and divine law. In it the scholasticism of the academy and the art of the preacher join hands to form an uneasy, although familiar, alliance. Elements from many Renaissance educational forms are recognizable: the sermon, the declamation, the disputation and determination, the commonplace, the treatise, all are represented. The lengthy introduction to this new critical edition throws light on the evolution of English rationalism in the seventeenth century, and the annotation establishes for the first time the full range of Culverwell's sources - classical, medieval, and Renaissance - and enables the reader to appreciate his manner of citing authority and handling illustration.Studies and texts (University of Toronto.
