Abstract

The paper dwells on different aspects of the “invisible hand”. A number of issues have been analyzed, i. e.: historical conditions for the emergence of the “invisible hand”; an attempt to set up a theoretical structure of the problem; the role and place of man in economics, i. e.: “homo economicus”; the morals of market economy and its controversial tendencies; the “invisible hand” as the state interference in the economy. The issue has been considered from a theoretical and methodological point of view and a number of offers have been addressed to the respective institutions, a bridge is built between the theoretical and the empirical knowledge.
