Laissez-faire

This page says that American Exceptionalism was characterized by many things, including laissez-faire economics. This is factually incorrect, as the American System (economics) was specifically designed with an emphasis on tariffs A) to protect domestic industry and B) because early Americans believed income tax to be immoral and characteristic of a tyrannical government. On the page for the American School (economics), you will find exactly this to be the case. HansLanda1488 (talk) 04:20, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I replied on the article talk page. There are many theories about American history. We don't change them because they were wrong. Incidentally, have you edited under a previous account? TFD (talk) 04:38, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No previous account, but I just madee one after editing it before.

This is a not a "theory", its a fact, and I changed it because the page was untrue. Tariffs are not "laissez-faire", and tariffs were the primary means by which the US government made money. This is stated quite clearly on the page for the "American System", in which it states that the United States did not have a laissez-faire economic policy until the 1970s.

The actual sentence says: "This ideology is based on liberty, equality before the law, individual responsibility, republicanism, representative democracy, and laissez-faire economics." There are people in the U.S. who believe in laissez-faire economics. Whether or not they are living in a laissez-faire country is irrelevant. I suspect many of them would agree with you that the U.S. is not laissez-faire. TFD (talk) 17:25, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is not my point at all. This isn't about a belief in the superiority of one economic system over another, so you're right that whether they believe it is a laissez-faire country or not is irrelevant, because that isn't the issue. The issue is whether or not that defines Americanism, which is clearly doe NOT, as it is only a recent change and Americanism is an ethos centuries old.
