什么是看不见的手?

To answer this question, we have to look at the era in which Adam Smith came up with it.

要回答这个问题，我们必须看看亚当·斯密提出这个问题时所处的时代。

At the time Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations, England was on the brink of the greatest economic expansion in the history of the world, the "industrial revolution" that resulted in widespread wealth.

亚当·斯密撰写《国富论》时，英国正处于世界历史上最大规模经济扩张的边缘，即“工业革命”，它带来了广泛的财富。

In the 18th and 19th centuries England had some natural advantages not enjoyed by other countries, which also contributed to its economic success. An island nation with a powerful navy, fueled by a Protestant work ethic, with a constitutional monarchy gradually yielding ground to a parliamentary democracy, England existed in a unique set of circumstances, none of which are easily accounted for by "invisible hand" economics. Taken uncharitably, then, Smith's "invisible hand" often seems more like a rationalization for the successes (and failures) of capitalism than a genuine explanation.

在18世纪和19世纪，英国有一些其他国家没有的自然优势，这也促进了它经济上的成功。英国是一个拥有强大海军的岛国，在新教工作道德的推动下，君主立宪制逐渐让位于议会民主制，英国处于独特的环境之中，这些环境都不容易被“看不见的手”这一经济学原理所解释。如此看来，史密斯的“看不见的手”似乎更像是资本主义成功（和失败）的合理解释，而非真正的解释。
