== == * Laissez-faire government is based on the idea that government stays out of economy. During the English industrial revolution, all sorts of factories were beginning to spring up, with absolutely no regulation by the government. These factories led to a new bourgeoisie class, which was not noble by birth, but rich nonetheless by owning factories. The government's unwillingness to interfere with business led to low pay, long hours, and unsafe working conditions for factory workers. It also allowed for child labor and other now outdated practices. The boom-bust cycle is also a major problem that occurs when business is not regulated by government.
* Just for clarification, there was no English industrial revolution. However, Britain had an industrial revolution that spread to Europe and then worldwide.
