Oh, for the love of fruit loops. The "invisible hand of the market" is a phrase used to describe the benefits of a free market by proponents of it. It has nothing to do with a god, it is meant to describe the supposed self-correcting nature of a free market.
Min is trying to say that there is no "invisible hand" of a free market. There is always some sort of outside interference. That is why he speaks of it as if it were a religious belief, because there is noproof that a market could EVER be 100% truley free. They want us to take it on faith.
