Deus ex machina
From Mises Wiki, the global repository of classical-liberal thought
Deus ex machina (Latin): literally, a god out of a machine, from the ancient theatrical practice of using a machine to produce on stage a god capable of solving problems human beings are unable to solve. Hence, reliance on providential intervention or other unspecified means for the solution of an otherwise unsolvable human problem.[1]
