'''Laissez faire''' (let us do or let us work) (from ''"laissez faire, laissez passer"'') is an economic doctrine that opposes governmental regulation of commerce beyond the minimum necessary for a free-enterprise system; it was promoted by the physiocrats. [http://www.answers.com/topic/laissez-faire] In economic theory, the term implies a true [[free market]] with no [[government]] intervention. Modern press approximately translates ''laissez faire'' into, "Do what you will", from French. The term was popularized by French Jean-Claude Marie Vincent de Gournay (1712–1759).
