[...] la liberté favorise la croissance. Grâce à la liberté, les individus peuvent poursuivre leur propre intérêt ou «tendance de chaque homme à améliorer sans cesse son sort». Lorsque l'individu conforme sa conduite économique à la libre recherche de l'amélioration du sort individuel, il s'établit des institutions et des comportements qui réalisent spontanément un ordre conforme à la nature (conception de la main invisible). Ainsi, en poursuivant son propre intérêt, il sert souvent d'une manière bien plus efficace l'intérêt de la société que s'il avait réellement pour but de la servir. 3, record 1, French, - main%20invisible
