Summary: In this book the author Phil Klein, in a low key but deeply reasoned text, critiques economic theory for its misrepresentations of the economy and other shortcomings. In particular, Klein provides a critique of how mainstream economists - creating a corpus of doctrines that seem "quantitative, precise, logical, elegant, rigorous, and beautiful" - have made more of Adam Smith's "invisible hand" than did Smith himself.
