One of the main provisions of mainstream economic science is Adam Smith's assertion that under certain conditions, the behavior of individuals pursuing their own interests leads to the common good as if they are directed by an invisible hand. Over the past two centuries, this idea has often been taken out of context, distorted and used as the foundation of market orthodoxy. In his book, Kaushik Basu argues that mainstream economics and its conservative popularizers have distorted Smith's idea and hindered our understanding of how economics works, why some economies fail and others succeed, and what the nature and role of government intervention may be. Comparing this notion of the invisible hand to the painting painted by Kafka, where individuals pursuing their atomistic interests create a dark and unsightly world, Basu calls for collective action and the need to build a just, not just effective, society.
