內容簡介

Adam Smith's landmark treatise on the free market paved the way for modern capitalism, arguing that competition is the engine of a productive society, and that self-interest will eventually come to enrich the whole community, as if by an `invisible hand'.

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

《看不見的手》內容簡介：亞當·斯密作為一個偉大的經濟學家，是資產階級古典政治經濟學的開創者。他在自己的思想體系中用“看不見的手”來比喻看不見的引導人類行為的人性本能。在良好的人類社會制度基礎上，那隻“看不見的手”能夠自發地產生出良好的社會規範和倫理秩序。但在一般的學術研究中，“看不見的手”這一比喻已經變成人們談起具有神奇作用的市場價格體系、經濟運作機制甚至資本主義的道德基礎時的常用語，自由市場經濟理念的支持者也把它看作最重要的原則和信條。《看不見的手》針對學術界圍繞“看不見的手”展開的討論進行梳理，並以亞當·斯密的《國富論》和《道德情操論》中的相關論述為基礎對“看不見的手”進行解讀。
