You believe that minimal government intervention in the economy leads to increased individual freedom, economic growth, and overall prosperity.
Laissez-faire is a political and economic ideology that advocates for minimal government intervention in the economy. The term, which translates from French as "let do" or "let go," suggests that free markets operate most efficiently when left to their own devices. This ideology is closely associated with classical liberalism and is a fundamental principle of capitalism.
The origins of laissez-faire ideology can be traced back to the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century. During this time, philosophers and economists such as Adam Smith and David Ricardo began…

If disaster relief were left to private companies without government management, how might this change your sense of security?
@9KS5CMWRepublican 2mos2MO
I would not feel secure because private companies have biases and can withhold their services or make it more expensive based on those biases.
@9KS3P7B2mos2MO
I think that we should use laissez-faire economies more than we do now
@9KS3GHYIndependent2mos2MO
Im agianst it the government should step in more fro disaster relief
@9KS36R8Republican2mos2MO
private companys will spend and use less resoureses in a emergancy to save money

What innovative methods could communities develop for managing waste and recycling without government authority?

What would you do if your personal data was entirely at the mercy of private companies with no privacy laws?
@9LDT77G1mo1MO
As stated in my rights I should have the right to my privacy, so if I think that its getting invaded by a company I will go directly to the government and sue the company.
@9LFZX5R1mo1MO
No because you have accepted and signed documents saying that they can have the power to your personal data in return for their product/service.
@9LDSWVX1mo1MO
I would sue them because my information should be private and have privacy laws
@9LDSLWW1mo1MO
Privacy laws apply to digital as well, strangers shouldn't have keys to your front door.

How would achieving your dream career be influenced by a purely free-market approach to job opportunities?
@9KSZVJ32mos2MO
With a free market economy like we have today, anyone can pursue and achieve their dream job if they work hard enough towards it. There are job opportunities everywhere around us.
@9KTDGVB 2mos2MO
There are lots of positions that many might describe as "dream jobs" that are either unachievable because of how expensive the learning path for that would be to some people or somebody's dream job may not pay a living wage and would be unsustainable.
@9KSZXDS2mos2MO
I don't think it affects my plans for my career as much.
@9KSZP3K2mos2MO
I would be able to expand my business without getting crushed by the state of Maryland every 2 seconds.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What is your opinion on having no minimum wage laws dictating your earnings?
@9H7JMSVWomen’s Equality6mos6MO
Everyone should be paid at a rate that is stable enough to keep them living.
@9H9JYZW6mos6MO
I think it might be unfair if a company pays below minimum wage, they should at least pay minimum wage if they are to choose how much they pay.
@9H7JXMC6mos6MO
make companies stop raising prices easy (ran out of time)
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you believe that everyone truly has an equal opportunity to succeed in a free market?
@9H9GLLW 6mos6MO
I think everyone has an opportunity but not everyone has equal opportunities. people born into poverty and those in minorities ultimately have fewer opportunities than those in the majority. However, I don't inherently think that this is a fault of the system and more a fault of the individual or group who is enacting discriminatory practices.
@9H6KBGR6mos6MO
No, predatory buisness practices exist, and monopolies are largely detrimental.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How might the absence of government-funded scholarships change your plans for higher education?
I can afford it but if I was lower-income I would think about going to community college
@9J2337MWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
It could make it significantly more difficult for me to go to higher education.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How might complete economic freedom affect the environment?
@9H5YDSC6mos6MO
The government shouldn't intervention until a possible monopoly is happening or developing.
@9H5XHTSRepublican6mos6MO
It could have a negative impact, we need sensible regulations to prevent pollution.
@9H5XDW66mos6MO
I think there would be no more care for the environment.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Can self-regulation by industries and companies effectively replace governmental health and safety standards?
@9HMRLX95mos5MO
No, I believe the government should hold itself to a higher standard than that of corporations.
@9HMDW9P5mos5MO
it is an effective method to create short term competition and economic growth, but at a point those industries become to big and will lobby against any new industry that could threaten there money and has created stagnation in our economy in terms of new creations.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How would you feel about the quality of products if businesses weren't regulated?
@9H7KMHJIndependent6mos6MO
If business wasn't regulated, the quality coming from them would become more poor. With no interference from the government, businesses could become care free and just start making and selling things to take in more money. Without the order and direction of the government, businesses will be able to take people's money on things that aren't worth the price.
@9H7KLTL6mos6MO
If quantity was being focused on more rather than quality, I would definitely not trust what I am consuming. the risk of sickness and other diseases is much higher.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How would public opinion shape business ethics in a society without corporate regulation?
@9LDVB341mo1MO
In a society with few rules for businesses, public opinion can shape how companies behave. If people don't like what a company does, they might stop buying from them, leading businesses to change their actions to keep customers happy.
@9LDTPKQ1mo1MO
Hopefully corporations would begin to prioritize quality
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Imagine a future where public transport is entirely privatized – how might that affect your mobility around your city or town?
@9J22NCF4mos4MO
It would effect certain people that are not liked in this world.

What would be your approach to saving money if there was no government-insured banking system?
@9J235H74mos4MO
Well, if there wasn't a government-insured banking system, saving money would require a bit more caution and research. One approach could be to diversify your savings across different financial institutions or investment options.
