{{liberalism}}
The '''liberal theory of economics''' is the theory of [[economics]] developed in the [[Age of Enlightenment|Enlightenment]], and believed to be first fully formulated by [[Adam Smith]] which advocates
minimal interference by government in the economy. The case for economic liberalism which began to be argued in the eighteenth century was the then-startling claim that if everyone is left to their own economic devices instead of being controlled by the state, then the result would be a harmonious and more equal society of ever-increasing prosperity<ref>Adams, Ian. Political Ideology Today. Manchester U Press 2001. p 20</ref> (see [[spontaneous order]] and [[invisible hand]]). It is the economic component of the political [[ideology]] of [[classical liberalism]]. The concept of '''economic liberalism''' or '''market liberalism''' underpinned the move towards a [[free market]] [[capitalism|capitalist]] economic system in the late 18th century, and the subsequent demise of the [[mercantilism|mercantilist]] system. Today, the liberal theory of economics is strongly associated with [[libertarianism]], [[neoliberal]] economics and some schools of [[conservatism]], particularly [[liberal conservatism]]. However, "liberal economics" in English language usage may also refer to [[Keynesian]] and related economic theories and policies, so called because of their association with [[social liberalism|modern liberalism]].
