The answer is A: a guide that ensures that people produce the things that society needs.

The theory behind Smith´s “invisible hand” is that offer and demand (what is produced and what is needed, in rough terms) are correlated in as much as self-interest (what one can produce for one´s own benefits) is channeled towards the needs that a given social group may experience at a given moment. This is indeed the justification for any form of <em>laissez-faire </em>economic system which dictates that commerce (transactions between private parties) should not be interrupted by governmental intervention since offer and demand balance each other "naturally".

How was the spanish-american war a significant point in america's emergence as a world power?
Pachacha [2.7K]
The Americans won the Spanish-American War. As a result of the Treaty of Paris, the US gained territory in the Pacific and Carribean, including Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. This led to the US increasing production of more foreign goods that they could now produce in their own territories, and therefore expanded their markets.
