Икономически либерализъм Икономически либерализъм е икономическият компонент на класическия либерализъм.[1] Той е икономическа философия, която поддържа лесе-фер икономиката. Пропонентите на икономическия либерализъм вярват, че политическата и социалната свобода са неразделни от икономическата свобода, застъпвайки се за свободния пазар. Противопоставя се на държавните интервенции в пазара и поддържа максимата за свободна търговия и конкуренция, за разлика от кейнсианството и социализма.

Economic liberalism Economic liberalism is the ideological belief in giving all people economic freedom, and as such granting people with more basis to control their own lives and make their own mistakes.[1] It is an economic philosophy that supports and promotes individual liberty and choice in economic matters and private property in the means of production. Although economic liberalism can be supportive of government regulation to a certain degree, it tends to oppose government intervention in the free market when it inhibits free trade and open competition, however it can also lead to the support of government intervention in order to remove private monopoly, as this limits the liberty of the poor. Economic liberalism emphasizes that people should make their own choices with their money, so long as it doesn't infringe on the liberty of others. Economic liberalism opposes economic planning as an alternative to the market mechanism. Economic liberalism contrasts with social liberalism as well as other economic orders such as mercantilism, state capitalism, socialism, market socialism,[2] and fascist economics (Corporatism).[3] Economic liberalism opposes government intervention on the grounds that the state often serves dominant business interests, distorting the market to their favor and thus leading to inefficient outcomes. Ordoliberalism and various schools of social liberalism based on classical liberalism include a broader role for the state, but do not seek to replace private enterprise and the free-market with public enterprise and economic planning. For example, a social market economy is a largely[dubious ] free-market economy based on a free price system and private property, and includes government regulation to promote competitive markets and social welfare programs to address social inequalities that result from free-market outcomes. Economic liberalism also includes support for equality of opportunity (also known as social mobility), due to the belief that a lack of equality of opportunity will lead to an increase in private monopoly and therefore infringed liberty of individuals. Theories in support of economic liberalism were developed in the Enlightenment, and believed to be first fully formulated by Adam Smith, which advocates minimal interference of government in a market economy, though it does not necessarily oppose the state's provision of a few basic public goods with what constitutes public goods originally being seen as very limited in scope.[4] Smith claimed that if everyone is left to their own economic devices instead of being controlled by the state, then the result would be a harmonious and more equal society of ever-increasing prosperity.[5] This underpinned the move towards a capitalist economic system in the late 18th century, and the subsequent demise of the mercantilist system. Private property and individual contracts form the basis of classical economic liberalism. The early theory was based on the assumption that the economic actions of individuals are largely based on self-interest (invisible hand), and that allowing them to act without any restrictions will produce the best results (spontaneous order), provided that at least minimum standards of public information and justice exist, e.g., no-one should be allowed to coerce or steal. While economic liberalism favors markets unfettered by the government, it maintains that the state has a legitimate role in providing public goods.[6] For instance, Adam Smith argued that the state has a role in providing roads, canals, schools and bridges that cannot be efficiently implemented by private entities. However, he preferred that these goods should be paid proportionally to their consumption (e.g. putting a toll). In addition, he advocated retaliatory tariffs to bring about free trade, and copyrights and patents to encourage innovation. Robert Cox's further research highlighted the importance of innovation and its deeper implications on the free market.[6] Initially, the economic liberalism had to contend with the supporters of feudal privileges for the wealthy, aristocratic traditions and the rights of kings to run national economies in their own personal interests. By the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, these were largely defeated. Today, economic liberalism is associated with social liberalism, classical liberalism, "neoliberalism", "propertarian" libertarianism, and some schools of conservatism.
