The Evil or Good Invisible Hand ?
Invisible hand sound like monster from hooray movie, but in economic term it was a theory buy adam smith, What adam smith say that “Invisible hand” determines what gets produced, how, and for whom.In his views the prices signals and response of the marketplace were likely to do a better job of allocating resources than any government could.
(Bradley R.S 2002)
In my point of views invisible hand is a selfishness act and it will not disturbed the resources fairly. First Public good will be underproduce , as B.R. Schiller say that when market failure, “ the market tends to underproduce public goods and overproduce private goods.” Because of “free rider” a free rider mean “An individual who reaps direct benefit from some one else purchase (consumption) of a public good.” because of Public good can be consummation by unemployment (no income ) user and pay taxes user.when Invisible hand apply the public goods will be greatly underproduced and it cause many problem
(Bradley R.S 2002)
A real life example as Gavin Tee say “Public transportation such as MRT or LRT are supposed to be built to take care of working class people. A lot of people cannot afford to stay out of town simply because there is no public transportation. That’s why prices in the city centre increased because the supply from the outskirts is not in demand. If there is MRT from Kajang, for example, and the ticket price must not be too high, then prices can be lower, say RM200K. There would then be a lot of choices.” so that mean when Public transport is less make all the house expensive and more unemployment rate too.
(Gavin tee 2012)
Secondly problem will be externalizes cost problem, what is externalities problem ? Externalities mean “Costs (or benefits) of a market activity borne by a third party; the difference between the social and private costs (benefits) of a market activity”
(Bradley R.S 2002)
When some product is not control producing it cause a social cost need to pay. A real life

    In the business world, things will come up that will either benefit both sides or vice versa. Because these type of things come up, your company has to be ready for these things. Usually externalities are set about as a benefit for business deal to go through. Externalities are generated when individuals impose costs on or provide benefits for others. They usually do not have an economic incentive to take those cost or benefits into account. This results in either a negative or a positive externality. “A negative externality is generated when a particular side effect imposes a cost on others. A positive externality is a side effect that generates benefits for others.” (Krugman, 2011).…

    In the novel Lord of the Flies, which is about a group of English boys who during the war are sent away to safety when their plane crashes and they are left to put together their own society with no adults, the author William Golding believes that secretly we all want absolute power and control over others. I support this belief as it establishes throughout the novel Ralph, Jack, and Roger’s want for absolute power and control. Although they all desire power and control all three have different reasons for doing so. Golding uses archetypes to depict his views, with Ralph being the innocent, Jack being the rebel, and Roger being the ruler.…

    However, one of the disadvantages is that using public transport is inconvenient. It can be crowded. For instance, there are always too many individuals on the same bus in rush hour. Maybe thieves are on the bus they take. The public transport does not operate 24 hours a day. People have to follow the time table, so they must wait for it. Furthermore, sometimes, it does not travel to the suburbs, so individuals have to walk for a long time to reach the place they want to go. If people have an important work at the suburb, it is inconvenient.…
