This riddle describes the

A reference to Adam Smith's phrase that describe benefits of individual self-interested actions in a free market economy, and is at odds with a monopoly.

Could you be the...
one dollar bill...
whose backside was designed in 1935
Uncle : this one I don't have... May the "uncle" be G. Washington?
THe invisible hand : one someone says that the Eye of Providence is also a symbol of freemasonry.
One will get it : one dollar
Luck is the real protagonist: another one I don't get... maybe part of an american expression ?
And the title "only for a few people" : because it's only for americans?
