Answer: The invisible hand

Explanation: if individuals are allowed to pursue their own selfish interest, the world will be as if guided by invisible hand. Because it is not the benevolent of the baker to bake bread but knew that people will definitely demand for his product. If individual is allowed to act on their selfish interest, the society as a whole will benefit from it.

Answer:

Self-interest, rightly understood, is a strong force for good in our society, as what benefits one person often benefits the entire community, or even society, at-large. ... This would include education, national defense and an internal national mechanism to protect people from others in society who might prey on them

What are two ways that presidents can control their approval with the public more directly, and how does each affect their decis
Morgarella [4.7K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Two ways in that presidents can control their approval with the public more directly are the use of mass media and social media to influence the public opinion of American citizens and the decisions he makes in favor of the American people that create direct benefits for them.

These methods affect their decision-making processes as head of the Executive branch in that sometimes the decisions made are only thought to improve their public image and popularity, not really resolving important issues in the country that need to be addressed seriously.

Many times, public relations and media advisors just think about how to favor the popularity of the US president, instead of inviting him to face the toughest issues that affect the citizens.
