Nicholas Nielsen · Answer 1

The answer is: The decisions made by producers and consumers drive all economic choices

This is confirmed by Adam Smith's, a British that founded the base of modern economics, and a laissez-faire and free market defender, in his Invisible Hand Theory, which says that free individuals living in a free economy, at the time of making decisions, looking for their own self-interests, take actions that benefited society even though that were not the main objective of these actions.

In this theory, government intervention in economy is seen as neither desirable nor necessary.
