Free enterprise was a
huge part of the success Americans had industrializing the nation. Americans
adopted the French phrase Laissez-faire meaning “Let the people do as they
choose.” Entrepreneurs were people who risk their capitol to organize and run
businesses. These people were the ones who started new businesses and new
ideas. They also were a big part of how free enterprise worked.
