Examination of Real-World International Economics Debate: Laissez-Faire vs. Interventionism

Over the years, scholars have evaluated several global economic debates that deal with various economic theories and practices. Most of these theories and practices have received enormous criticism, and some compared to others. For instance, one of the most dominant debates has been that of Laissez-Faire versus Interventionism. According to a study by Stahl (2019), Laissez-Faire denotes an economic theory that opposed the need for government intervention in any business affairs. This approach’s core principle was that the lack thereof government involvement in the economy signified economic and business success in societies. Stumpf & Sommer (2019) supports this by revealing that the Laissez Faire economy is linked to free-market capitalism, thereby employing the Marxist model. The Laissez-Faire economy has been particularly advocated against due to the increased prevalence of privatization than nationalization. Unlike the Laissez-Faire economy, economic interventionism denotes an economic policy that favours government involvement and intervention in markets and the economy. Economic Interventionism reveals that the government’s involvement and intervention are necessary since it aids in correcting market failures while promoting the general welfare of the public. Over the past decades, scholars have compared Laissez-Faire and Interventionism to assess which economic method is best for international business. While some have advocated for the Laissez-Faire economy, most countries have today embraced economic interventionism as the main international economic approach.u00a0
