laissez-faire  

Définition

  • LAISSEZ-FAIRE describes an economic doctrine that allows for a free-enterprise system to operate according to its own economic laws and opposes governmental regulation of commerce beyond the minimum necessary. The term translates from the French as “to let alone.” In the 18th century, laissez-faire enjoyed influence in many different areas of everyday life as early European economic thought overlapped with political, philosophical, and religious ideology.
