Which raises the question of how can one make the invisible hand 
picturesque. Hmmmm.

How about a movie entitled "The Butcher Who Became Invisible." As the 
butcher finds that she cannot function, does her business also fade 
with her? Or is she replaced by one who is almost equally capable? Or 
perhaps by one who seizes the opportunity to profit by introducing a 
technological advance.

Have you seen the U.S. show "Modern Marvels?"
