Adam Smith’s seminal economics work, 1776’s An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, is most famous for the concept of the “invisible hand”, which speaks of the unintended social benefits of individual actions. It is also well known in introductory economics as the “force” which pushes supply and demand towards equilibrium in classical economic theory.

ToC projection update:
With a projected 75 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.6035 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.2823).
An average of 5.0412 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.5703).
An early cutoff took place 23.341% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Tim Kutz qualified 45.795% of the time.
Todd Giese qualified 11.475% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 1.952% of the time.
Fred Vaughn qualified 0.331% of the time.
(Note: Due to the possibility of a WGA strike, I feel that it is more accurate for ToC projections to add 20 games to the end of the previous projected qualifying period.)
