Laissez-faire (French for "leave it be") economic theory argues that the economy works best when it is governed solely by market forces.

Laissez-faire economics, characterized by minimal government intervention in the market, often results in unregulated labor practices and poor working conditions. As workers face exploitation and inadequate wages, they are motivated to organize into labor unions to collectively negotiate for better terms, protections, and rights. This self-organization helps them counterbalance the power of employers, leading to improved labor conditions and fairer compensation. Ultimately, unions emerge as a necessary response to the inequalities fostered by a purely laissez-faire approach.

The primary method used by workers to fight against the laissez-faire system was to create LABOR UNIONS that initially functioned exclusively in one company, then expanded to be present in multiple companies in the same industry, and then further expanded to become nation-wide labor unions such as the American Federation of Labor (AFL) and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). Eventually, even the AFL and the CIO joined together, but this was long after laissez-faire was abolished.
