La invisible "Mano Invisible" de Adam Smith

Abstract

Este artículo analiza el significado de la expresión “mano invisible” de Smith. ¿La usó para describir el comportamiento de los mercados como algo inexorable y predeterminado, como se supone usualmente, o como una metáfora de la “mano de Dios”? Para responder esta pregunta explora el contenido filosófico de La teoría de los sentimientos morales como contexto de su obra económica más conocida. El artículo busca contribuir a un debate que ya es común en círculos filosóficos y que aún es incipiente en el ámbito de la economía, pese a que Adam Smith es un autor muy citado en las obras de teoría y de política económica.
