"The Fable of the Bees, Or, Private Vices, Publick Benefits" is a seminal work of philosophy and economics by Bernard Mandeville. First published in 1714, it explores the paradox that societal prosperity often stems from individual vices. The book is structured as a poem, followed by extensive commentary and analysis. The central metaphor is a bee hive, which thrives despite the selfish behavior of the bees. Mandeville argues that human societies function similarly, with private vices such as greed and vanity driving economic prosperity. This work is considered a foundational text in the field of economics, offering early insights into the division of labor, productivity, and the free market.
