Answer to Question 1

The invisible hand is an idea in economics that suggests that when all assumptions of a perfectly competitive market are in place, the pursuit of individual self-interest promotes the well-being of society as a whole, almost as if the individual is led by an invisible hand to do so. Thus, under perfect competition, when individuals are working to maximize personal profits, they end up promoting social interests.
