Invisible Hand and Ghost in the Machine

'The Ghost in the Machine' usually refers to the Dualist concept of a Mind or Soul inhabiting an otherwise inert or robotic body. But, it can also apply to Smith's Invisible Hand. For, the social order that forms around the mechanical processes that are the predominant means of production in his era itself thereby becomes machine-like, into which the Invisible Hand arrives as a dynamic unifying or harmonizing visitation, according to his system. In other words, the Invisible Hand is what Plato might call a 'writ large' Soul or Mind.
