Big Business and Labor

Laissez Faire and Social Darwinism promoted the mistreatment of laborers. They were created as an excuse for business men to trample over their workers, For example according to Social Darwinism, the poor were naturally inferior to the rich and thus didn't deserve the government to intervene for them. The people that owned the businesses sad that because the government didn't have the right to regulate it. This was part of Laissez Faire, as was the right for business owners to do whatever they wanted without interference from people outside the government either. Therefore, because Social Darwinism and Laissez Faire prevented the government intervention and explained why people were poor with no fault to the rich, large business owners could take advantage of laborers by paying them little and treating them like dirt.
