Jonathan Sheehan is professor of history at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of The Enlightenment Bible: Translation, Scholarship, Culture. Dror Wahrman is the Ruth N. Halls Professor of History at Indiana University-Bloomington and dean of humanities at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the author of several books, including, most recently, Mr. Collier's Letter Racks: A Tale of Art and Illusion at the Threshold of the Modern Information Age.

"Invisible Hands is a landmark piece of work, a brilliant excavation of eighteenth-century patterns of thought. Sheehan and Wahrman demonstrate in a virtuoso manner that eighteenth-century thinkers came to discern the same fundamental quality of self-organization at work in many different systems. The authors often wax lyrical, beautifully so, in their exploration of their topic, and do not shy away from posing questions of profound philosophical import. This book will cause a stir." (David A. Bell, Princeton University)
