I once came across a critique of Adam Smith's notion
of "the invisible hand", as it relates to *global
trade*. I can't vouch for it (but I do provide
the source citations), because I haven't studied
Smith. But I would be interested to hear from knowledgeable
persons, and everyone may find it interesting. I've
"preserved" what I read as the first item (dated: 12Jul97) on the
following web page:

Have the free marketeers and globetraders even
deceived us about the very nature of their own
patriarch's concept of "the invisible hand"?
