Social Darwinism reinforces Laissez-faire because because it says that if you are not of good breeding you will not succeed, if you are, you will. Well, much like pre-destination, if you already know what is going to happen, what's the point of being good, improving yourself, etc. In that case, let the good times roll! Usually the point is put differently. Social Darwinists oppose welfare (and if really extreme, even charity) on the grounds that it allegedly interferes with the functioning of the 'laws of natural selection' and the 'survival of the fittest'; they argue that any system other than laissez faire will result in the unfit (who, they say, should simply perish) breeding like rabits and so forth. In other words, they fall back on laissez faire as a system that they are willing to accept. Some very extreme Social Darwinists would prefer to accelerate natural selection by aritificial means as happened under the Nazis. Joncey to break this down, the strongest will survive in free trade (this is the easy way to say it). if you have an unstable economy and no central govt. you will fail and will not be able to participate in free-trade (Laissez-fair)
The theory that discouraged government interference in economic matters was social Darwinism. Some social Darwinists think that governments should not interfere by trying to regulate the economy as this would take away competition and self-interest in social and business matters.

No, the Progressive reformers did not believe in Social Darwinism. They believed that its competition and conflict were both detrimental to their society.
Social Darwinism is the belief that certain social groups are more fit for survival and success due to natural selection principles. Some individuals argue that social Darwinism has been used to justify inequalities and discrimination in society.

Social Darwinism emerged in the late 19th century, gaining popularity in the 1870s and 1880s. It was influenced by Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection and was used to justify various social, political, and economic ideologies.
There is some debate about Rudyard Kipling's views on social Darwinism. Some argue that his works may have reflected elements of social Darwinism, while others suggest that he critiqued the idea through his portrayal of characters and societies in his stories. Ultimately, it is not definitive whether Kipling was explicitly against or in favor of social Darwinism.
Social Darwinism is a belief that certain individuals or groups of people are more fit to survive and prosper in society because of their inherent superiority. This concept has been widely discredited as it promotes discrimination, inequality, and justifies harmful social practices. While the explicit ideas of Social Darwinism may not be as prevalent today, its influence can still be seen in discriminatory attitudes and unequal power dynamics in society.
