An Invisible Hand For Your Happiness?

Penguin Books

Adam Smith might be rolling in his grave. 

He only used the phrase "invisible hand" three times in his many writings. 

But it's the phrase for which the 18th-Century Scottish economist is best remembered. 

The memories might change just a bit with Russ Roberts's new book How Adam Smith Can Change Your Life: An Unexpected Guide to Human Nature and Happiness

Roberts joins us to explain the many ways in which Smith's work can be used to improve life in our time.
