Another analogy nobody will be happy with. Some people look at the competition between individuals to make as much money as possible, and they see that as combining into an “invisible hand,” which they then anthropomorphize as something that wants a stable market. Other people look at the competition between individuals to pass on as many genes as possible, and they see that as combining into a “natural order,” which they anthropomorphize as something that wants a stable ecosystem. Both groups are making the same mistake.
