This book illustrates the applicability of the seminal and
controversial metaphor of the "invisible hand" in modern
sociological theory. It shows that sociologists have long been part
of a field mainly associated with economists and political
philosophers. Though unlike the framing that builds directly on
Adam Smith, sociological theory focuses on undesirable and perverse
outcomes. Furthermore, the sociological angle favors the
explanation of invisible hand-like mechanisms as contingent upon
social structures and broader processes. Thus, it goes beyond its
classical formulation in terms of interdependence, interaction and
aggregation of individual actions. This book gathers contributions
of remarkable authors who are linked directly either with the
invisible hand metaphor, with the spontaneous order phenomenon or
with the unintended consequences issue and aims to describe the
traditional and contemporary applicability of the sociological
framing of the invisible hand for social sciences.
