Soft Power is a term that was created by Joseph Nye and American Political Scientist. He explained that Hard Power is military and economic sanctions. Soft Power, on the other hand, is a non-coercive way to create a favorable image of a country in the minds of people, it can come in culture, political values, and foreign policies.

Soft Power was used heavily during the Cold War by the United States. Many actions were taken to portray the “American side” as the best one. The US portrayed capitalism as the best economic choice and the American government system the best one. The US sold its culture as the best one as an opposite to the Soviet economy.

It indeed had a good outcome, there are famous pictures of huge lines in Mcdonald’s after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Mcdonalds is the biggest image of US and of capitalism around the world.

A government is laissez-faire when it
s344n2d4d5 [400]

<u>Original Question</u>: A government is laissez-faire when it?

<u>Answer: does not interfere with business affairs and does not regulate its actions</u>

<u></u>

<em>Explanation: Laissez-faire is an economic term that economists use when describing an unregulated market</em>

<em>An unregulated market in being the fact that the government doesn't involve us in the business world.</em>

<em>Its benefit is that allows for substantial growth in the industry as businesses are not bound by rules and regulations could increase the cost and decrease their efficiency.</em>

<em>However it is unbeneficial when businesses began to set up 'monoplies' and 'set inadequate working standards' that harm other businesses and workers. That is when the government would step in to regulate the market and break the laissez-faire terms on how to run a market.</em>
