The term 'invisible hand' was first used by Adam Smith in the 18th century to describe the efficiency in the autoregulation of free markets, where free means not externaly intervened by governments. Intervention distorts markets and harms the efficiency of their functioning.

The main principle behind is that, when individuals pursue their "private" efforts they are generating larger wealth for society as a whole than if their first intention was to help society. The markets will be in charge of channelizing individuals interests into socialy desirable outcomes.

The ___________ effect occurs when solutions emerge for a problem after a period of not consciously thinking about the problem.​
never [62]
The correct answer is incubation.
Incubation effect is when you come up with a solution to the problem, or remember something you were trying hard to remember, after a period of time when you weren't exactly consciously thinking about it. It means that the problem was incubated, but that your brain came up with the solution unconsciously, without your awareness.
