Classical and neoclassical economic theorists have played a decisive role here. Ignoring early warnings about the instability of speculative finance markets, they have persisted in their belief in the inherent equilibrium of the market, describing even major crises as mere aberrations or adjustments and rationalizing dubious financial practices that escalate risk while seeking to manage it. 'The market knows best': this is a secular version of Adam Smith's faith in the market's 'invisible hand,' his economic interpretation of eighteenth-century providentialist theodicy, which subsequently hardened into an 'oikodicy,' an unquestioning belief in the self-regulating beneficence of market forces.
