Book Synopsis The 'Invisible Hand' and British Fiction, 1818-1860 by : E. Courtemanche
Book excerpt: The 'invisible hand', Adam Smith's metaphor for the morality of capitalism, is explored in this text as being far more subtle and intricate than is usually understood, with many British realist fiction writers (Austen, Dickens, Gaskell, Eliot) having absorbed his model of ironic causality in complex societies and turned it to their own purposes.
