What is the historical significance of laissez-faire?

Adam Smith played a large role in popularizing laissez-faire economic theories in English-speaking countries, though he was critical of a number of aspects of what is currently thought of as laissez-faire (such as lack of government regulation of business practices). Laissez-faire philosophy was dominant throughout the late 19th and early 20th century in the wealthier countries of Europe and North America. Many historians also see that period as the height of laissez-faire's implementation in those countries. However, critics claim that what was described as "laissez-faire" policy was simply a proactive pro-business policy, and in practice there was little difference between pro-business and laissez-faire. In this context, laissez-faire rhetoric was used to justify denial of similar subsidies to the poor and working classes. Some believe these claims are still valid. Some argue that laissez-faire policies played a role in creating the Great Depression but many economists, such as Milton Friedman argue, that by the time of the Great Depression, significant government economic regulation had already taken place and that it was the Federal Reserve which caused the Depression, by creating an environment in which the market depended upon it to act, and then failing to take action. The action of the Federal Reserve has been compared to putting a penny in the fuse-box of the economy. Like pure communism, pure capitalism has never existed in the real world.


Laissez faire laissez passer le monde va de lui mme?

I'm not an expert... This is more of a statement and not question: "Laissez faire et laissez passer, le monde va de lui mme!," Roughly translates as: "Let do and let pass, the world goes with him madam!" The common interpretation, what I understand it to be is this: "Let it be and let it pass, the world goes to him!" As far I know, one does not need mme (Madame) in the statement, there is no woman! Sounds like it was taken from a movie subtitle perhaps? I could be wrong.

How does Social Darwinism reinforce Laissez-faire?

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)
