• Leave-to make is in policy an expression requiring of the to be able not to intervene, in particular in the economic domain. It has was employed for the first time by the Physiocrate S with the XVIIIe century to ask freedom of movement of the grains between the provinces and the abolition of the drudgeries. It became, in first half of the 19th century, synonymous with free Marché and with Economic liberalism.

A policy leave-to make opposes a policy interventionist.

• the to let make is also a principle in Chinese philosophy. One finds it for example in CAD De Jing and in the middle of the Taoisme or the Confucianisme. One also finds it in practical applications in martial arts like the Tai-chi or in the Zen, where this to let make consists inter alia slackening the rigid control of oneself for to let speak the body . It is an energetic form of maintenance of balances which one should not confuse with an interpretation with Western the to let go .

Origins of the expression

The recommendation " is found; one lets make the nature" at Boisguilbert in its Essay of 1707. " Leave us faire" is the response of the Legendre merchant to Colbert which required " of him; what can one make to help you? ". The maxim " leave faire" appears at the Marquis d' Argenson in 1751, and " let make, leave passer" is allotted by Turgot to Vincent de Gournay in 1759. In all the cases, it is an injunction with the capacity not to intervene in the economy.

Quotations

“ Let make, such should be the currency of any public power, since the world is civilized. Hateful principle that to want to grow only by the lowering of our neighbors! There are only the spite and the malignity of the heart the satisfied ones in this principle, and the interest is opposite there. Let make, morbleu! Let make!! ” (Marquis d' Argenson)

“ what the State owes with each one of its members it is the destruction of the obstacles which would obstruct them in their industry (...). Are the men strongly interested in although you want to get to them? LET DO THEM. Here the large one, the single principle. ” (Turgot, article “Foundation” for the Encyclopedia of Alembert and Diderot)

“ Let make does not mean: let act of the mechanical forces without heart. It means: allow each individual to choose how he wants to cooperate in the social division of work; allow the consumers to determine what the contractors must produce. ” (Ludwig von Mises, the human Action)

Some see in the current mondialized economy a certain form of leave-fairisme . Thus Maurice Went, polytechnician and “Nobel Prize” of economy raises the question: “ Comment the new doctrines of the free echangism mondialist could be essential whereas actually it involved only disorders and miseries in the whole world? There are undoubtedly with that three essential reasons: an erroneous teaching in all the universities of the world, a disastrous confusion between Liberalism and leave-fairisme , the domination of the American Multinationale S. ”
