  • The hand becoming more visible

    In this episode with Nat Dyer, I learned that the invisible hand of Adam Smith with the rest of classical economics is pretty much a myth. The hand is becoming more visible due to the corruption from the elites into our political process. They fear competition from below so they would stop at nothing to rig the game in their favor.
