Laissez-faire

“Laissez-faire” is a documentary divided into two parts. Its purpose is to demonstrate how, in the past 250 years, liberal philosophy has influenced people’s lives all over the world. On how it was put aside for a few decades during the 19th century, in favour of the social economy and public interest. And finally, how it re-emerged in the last thirty years of the century, once again dominating the world, guaranteeing the freedom of the few to the detriment of the many. Through the testimony of journalists, economists, jurists and philosophers, “Laissez-faire”, provides a historical perspective of Neoliberalism and why this ideology nowadays influences governments’ decisions and our lives.
