Question

If a government has a laissez-faire approach to managing the economy, who would be most likely to lose money?

A.) business people starting a trust
B.) a banker lending money to a corporation
C.) a business owner running a small company
D.) investors who own shares in a monopoly

Answer 1

If a government has a laissez-faire approach to managing the economy, then it would be "D.) investors who own shares in a monopoly," that would be most likely to lose money, since there would be no government regulation of how this company spent its money--meaning that the company would be free to act in ways that were not in the best interest of the investors.
