Some of the outcomes of laissez-faire Economics were:

  • Businesses pay workers low
  • Pollution of air and water
  • Poverty traps that cannot be escaped through free choice
  • General glut that results from overproduction or underconsumption
  • Monopoly power that emerges naturally in the market and allows businesses to exploit consumers
  • Exploitation of the working class that pushes wages down to subsistence and compels laborers to work in harsh and unsafe conditions
  • External economies that generate situations where desirable goods are underproduced on the market, and undesirable goods are overproduced on the market
  • Public goods that are not supplied by the market due to free-rider problems
