| 单词 | laissez-faire |
| 释义 | laissez-faire A policy of complete non-intervention by governments in the economy, leaving all decisions to the market. If there were perfect markets everywhere, with no externality, and we were indifferent to income distribution, laissez-faire would be a first-best policy. In fact there are numerous market imperfections and many externalities, and there is considerable concern about income distribution. Laissez-faire cannot seriously be defended as first-best. There are however government failures as well as market failures, and one might attempt to defend laissez-faire as a second-best. Most economists nowadays accept a major role for centralized policy in enforcing competition, regulating externalities, and trying to correct some of the income inequalities engendered by free markets. |
