The most celebrated theory in all of economics, the so-called First Welfare Theorem, says that, provided there is perfect competition and perfect information, free markets allocate resources resources efficiently. In other words, it says the father of economics Adam Smith was right, that the “invisible hand” of the market works in the best interest of society.
