Word origin

The concept of free market support can be traced back to the ideas of classical economists such as Adam Smith and David Ricardo in the 18th and 19th centuries. These thinkers argued that a laissez-faire approach to economics, with minimal government interference, would lead to the most efficient allocation of resources and the greatest overall benefit to society. The term 'free market supporter' gained popularity in the 20th century as debates around economic policy and government intervention intensified.
