The answer is Adam Smith.
Adam Smith was an 18th century economist and philosopher. One of the pillars of his economic theory is known as the laissez-faire, with this concept he stated that the market should be let to its natural order. He believed that, with little or no interference from the government, the market had a way of naturally regulating itself, through competition, supply and demand. He named this process as the "invisible hand" that drives the market.
His ideas granted him the title of the father of economics, and are the basis for today's economic system.
