Yes he did You cannot say he supported laissez-faire economic principles because he kept tariffs ridiculously high which stifled foreign competition in the U.S. One of the most important elements (if not the most important) of laissez-faire economics is a high level of competition and in this case gov't stepped in to eliminate competition with high tariffs, which is the exact opposite of laissez-faire economics. So I would say no...but you won't find this in a history book. I know because I am a teacher.
Government was shrunk, and they cut spending, there was also a time of economic growth because credit was introduced to the stock market.. there were no limits or restrictions on credit back then so there was a huge outburst of buying and selling.... of course, this credit also led to the great depression.
Coolidge was a supporter of laissez-faire free market capitalism and was an economic nationalist (following the tradition of conservatives during the 19th century). He supported high tariffs to protect American businesses from foreign competition, massive tax cuts and greatly reducing spending with a corresponding reduction in the national debt, as well as tight monetary policy and low inflation.
