free market
American economist Milton Friedman is known as the father of the free market principle.
One example of a free market philosopher is Adam Smith, known for his work "The Wealth of Nations." Smith advocated for a laissez-faire economic system where individuals pursue their own self-interest, leading to overall societal benefit through the invisible hand of the market.
According to Adam Smith, the market was directed by an invisible hand. He described it as a natural phenomenon that guides free markets and capitalism through the competition for limited resources.
He developed the idea of the "invisible hand" of the free market, which continually keeps the market on course.
It was self-regulated by the "invisible hand."
