When did supporters of Laissez-Faire believe the government should interfere in the economy?

Supporters of Laissez-Faire economics generally believed that government interference in the economy should be minimal, primarily limited to maintaining Law and Order, protecting property rights, and enforcing contracts. They argued that the free market was best equipped to allocate resources efficiently without government intervention. However, some proponents acknowledged the need for government action in cases of market failures, such as monopolies or externalities, where unregulated markets could lead to negative outcomes for society. Overall, their preference was for a hands-off approach unless specific circumstances warranted intervention.
