I counter you with Herman E. Daly (http://www.puaf.umd.edu/facstaff/faculty/Daly.html) and his invisible foot:
Adam Smith's "invisible hand" leads private self-interest unwittingly to serve the common good. The "invisible foot" leads private self-interest to kick the common good to pieces. Private ownership and private use under a competitive market give rise to the invisible hand. Public ownership with public restraint on use gives rise to the invisible hand (and foot) of the planner. Depletion has been partially restrained by the invisible foot. It is therefore not surprising to find limits occurring mainly on the pollution side.

Well if I'd REALLY been on my game instead of underawake (underfoot? undertoe? Yeah, that's it: Taking a break from economics, the invisible undertoe located just off the beach of my consciousness didst kick my brain unto the depths of Morpheus, where verily it tried to insert itself into my ear and wiggle furiously, causing distraction and annoyance.), I'da thot of that one, but thanks for thinking of it for me.
This is sounding more and more like a foot fetish...
