Answer:

The answer is: Laissez-Faire

Step-by-step explanation:

Economic philosophy of the 18th century that advocates for markets to self regulate themselves, the market knows better. It opposes any type of government intervention in the economy. The less regulations and laws applied by the government over the economy, the better. Basically the only law they like is supply and demand. Those who support laissez-faire area against taxes, trade restrictions, tariffs, duties, or any type of regulation. The market itself will impose the survival of the fittest as the natural order of businesses and wealth creation.
