Hawaii Reporter The Invisble Gun By Stuart K. Hayashi, 3/7/2002 4:41:18 AM In 1776, philosopher-economist Adam Smith described the phenomenon of “the Invisible Hand.” This was his name for the side effect of the profit motive in a free market -- that, in order to make more money for himself, a businessperson had to help improve the standard of living for his customers. However, throughout history, the government’s ever-present regulations have spawned yet another sociopolitical-economic phenomenon -- one whose existence very few people are willing to acknowledge and one that is inherent in all laws enforced by the state.
