Abstract: | Economics typically explains patterns in terms of the actions of rational agents. However, a disregarded theory of the agent herself, wherein patterns that seem to indicate a central and unified directing agent are instead explained as the result of smaller, non-agent entities interacting, also might count as an invisible- hand explanation. The future is uncertain, an organism may not survive to reap an anticipated reward, or the world might not present it. |
