The economic principle of laissez-faire means the government has little to no interference in the economy. At its peak, the Gilded Age demonstrated the most pure of laissez-faire economics in the US.

Essentially the government is to help businesses by allowing businesses to thrive under a competitive, unregulated environment. <span />
