invisible hand---An
expression mentioned just once in Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations, referring to the price “signalling”
market distribution mechanism. The higher the price of a good or service rises
in comparison to other goods and services, the more this good will become eyed,
and sooner or later some shipmates with expertise and comparative
advantage in its manufacture
and/or trade will come up with
quicker, better and less costly ways to finally get this good, or one like it,
into people’s hands.
