How do these books go together? How do markets and morality mix? James Otteson provides a comprehensive examination and interpretation of Smith's moral theory and demonstrates how his conception of morality applies to his understanding of markets, language and other social institutions. Considering Smith's notions of natural sympathy, the impartial spectator, human nature and human conscience, the author addresses whether Smith thinks that moral judgments enjoy a transcendent sanction.

The book questions, examines and explicates the strengths and weaknesses of the concept by way of analyzing its paradigmatic examples such as Carl Menger’s ‘Origin of Money’ and Thomas Schelling’s famous checkerboard model of residential segregation. Based on this analysis, it provides a fresh look at the philosophical literature on models and explanation and develops a philosophical framework for interpreting invisible-hand type of explanations in economics and elsewhere. Finally, the book applies this framework to recent game theoretic models of institutions and outlines the way in which they should be evaluated.</P> The Invisible Hand in Economics: How Economists Explain Unintended Social Consequences (Routledge INEM Advances in Economic Methodology) Emrah Aydinonat (10 June 2008) 2008-05-03T14:07:48-00:00 2008 Routledge economics invisible-hand
