You are informative but casual. Thank you

The theory rests on the notion of non regulation of business more than complete inaction. I see laissez faire as a deregulatory economc model. Subsidies and tax breaks do not disqualify a laissez faire model. According to your model, no government was truly laissez faire during the industrial age due to the corporate subsidies that big business received including all of the land to build the railroads.

THROWBACK!

Yes, life working in the industrial age for the vast pool of labor was simply a pleasure. I assure you I am not a communist, Senator McCarthy. Best wishes with your studies.

Republicans support government interfering when it can benefit business and the wealthy. That's just not laissez faire. I'm not sure if you're trying to support the Marxian theory of worker exploitation, but the Industrial Revolution was characterized by increasing productivity and it greatly benefited workers and the common man. People didn't flood to the cities because the countryside was so much better. The romantization of peasant life and farming is beyond me.

Was the civil war a capitalist crusade? I believe so. Socialism and so on comes up with capitalism.

I don't see how you can label regulation as government interference, but yet subsidies and lop-sided tax breaks are not intereference. No, the US government was not truly laissez faire during industrialization. That is true. A lot of the problems with railroads had to do with the fact that they were subsidized. Research James J Hill, who created a very successful NON subsidized railroad.

Mr. Crow Gang!!!

That's a strawman fallacy. I never claimed that working in factories in that time period was amazing. I am simply stating that it was a whole lot better than the alternatives. And I'm not occusing you of being a communist, I'm saying that what you were saying sounded like that theory.
