Classical economics, the kind that supports free enterprise, is basically a behavioral science with one rule:

People respond to incentives. If you understand what someone's incentives are, you can understand what they will do.

To answer this question as an essay, here are some subjects to explore: What are incentives? How well do people understand their own incentives? In what ways can people's incentives be changed or controlled?

A supporter of free enterprise wants a system where as many people as possible can understand and respond to their own self interest, as defined by their incentives. Since you are writing this question from the perspective of a supporter, think about things that worry supporters of free enterprise, like government intervention. Government intervention distorts incentives, sometimes creating negative effects in the economy. These are the subjects you will want to talk about.
