Laissez-Faire+A.W.B

=Laissez-Faire=

In the late 1800s, many Americans embraced the idea of Laissez-Faire, a French phrase meaning 'let people do as they choose." Supports of Laissez-Faire believe the government should not interfere in the economy other than to protect rights and maintain peace. They argue that if the government regulates the economy, it increases costs and eventually hurts society more than it helps.
