philosophy, Adam Smith, published The Wealth of Nations. In this book, the first systematic study of capitalism, Smith described his principle of the “invisible hand”. This principle states that each person, pursuing his or her self-interest without interference by government, will be led, as if by an invisible hand, to achieve the best good for society. Self-interest drives people to action, but alone it is not enough. People must understand the effects of their decision and their economic well-being. They must think rationally if they are to make the right decisions. Because of this, economists long ago introduced the concept of economic man. This notion holds that each person is motivated by economic forces. In other words, each person will always attempt to obtain the greatest amount of satisfaction for the least amount of sacrifice or cost. This satisfaction may take the form of greater profits for a businessperson, higher wages or more leisure time for a worker, and greater pleasure from goods purchased for a consumer. Of course, these assumptions are not entirely realistic. People may be motivated by forces other than self-interest. Nevertheless, the idea of economic man does deserve as a reasonable approximation of the prevailing pattern of economic behaviour in a capitalistic society. And in economics, as in other social sciences, reasonable approximations are often the best that can be made.

The Wealth of Nations, written by the Scottish professor of philosophy, Adam Smith, in 1776, marked the first comprehensive exploration of capitalism. One of the key principles he introduced in the book was the concept of the "invisible hand." According to this principle, when individuals pursue their self-interests without government interference, they are naturally guided, as if by an unseen force, to promote the greater good for society as a whole. While self-interest is a driving force for people's actions, it alone is insufficient. People must also possess an understanding of the consequences of their decisions and how they affect their economic well-being. Rational thinking is necessary to make sound choices.
Economists have long adopted the concept of "economic man," which posits that every individual is primarily motivated by economic factors. In other words, people will always seek to maximize their satisfaction while minimizing sacrifices or costs. This satisfaction can manifest as higher profits for a businessperson, increased wages or leisure time for a worker, or greater pleasure from consumer goods. However, it's acknowledged that these assumptions are not entirely realistic, as people may be influenced by motivations beyond pure self-interest.
Nonetheless, the notion of economic man serves as a reasonable approximation of the prevailing economic behavior in a capitalistic society. In the realm of economics, and in other social sciences, practical approximations often prove to be the most useful tools available.
