Description

The physician with a special interest in psychological disorders and satirist, Mandeville, published editions of his notorious work Fable of the Bees from 1714 to 1732. Each edition was a defense and elaboration of the short satirical poem The Angry Hive, 1705. The editions of the Fable from 1723 and 1732 are the most complete defenses of his early paradox that social benefit is the unintended consequence of personal vice. This is an argument generally considered to be behind Adam Smith's doctrine of the 'invisible hand' of economic development.
