Adam Smith, a Scottish philosopher and economist, advocated for laissez-faire capitalism in his book "The Wealth of Nations" published in 1776. In this book, Smith argued that the best economic system was one in which the government played a minimal role in regulating the economy, and instead, individuals were left to pursue their self-interest in a competitive marketplace. This idea of a free-market economy became the basis for laissez-faire capitalism.
