In all the talk about Smith and the invisible hand, I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the first four chapters of WN, in which Smith contrasts the planned division of labor in the pin factory to the spontaneously ordered division of labor in the broader marker and develops a theory of the evolution of the latter that links the changing particulars of the division of labor to the changing particulars of its environment, more than eighty years before the publication of a very similar idea in The Origin of Species. Theories of spontaneous order, including both Smith's and Darwin's, have been cited by many scholars as scientifically respectable ways to unmask the invisible hand -- why not give Smith credit for this originating this strikingly modern point of view?
