'''Free Enterprise''' is commerce with [[business]] transactions carried on between private individuals or corporations without [[state]] interference or planning.  It has been the primary economic model in the U.S. and Britain since the [[Industrial Revolution]], but free enterprise has been tempered somewhat by government regulation.  Free enterprise means an unregulated [[economic]] activity that harnesses the power of economic freedom and [[competition]], for the benefit of all. In [[France]] and other places, ironically, this economic model is called [[liberalism]].
