[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing what government’s role should be in the national economy. The paper concludes that true laissez-faire is not workable, but neither is the heavy-handed regulatory environment in which business is able to operate with only part of its abilities put to use.

It terms of the economy, it needs to err on the side of not doing enough, leaving the market to find its own level. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
