Laissez-faire

"Laissez-faire" is a two-part documentary collection released between 2015 and 2019, totaling 245 minutes in runtime. The collection examines the historical influence of liberal philosophy on global societies over the past 250 years. It details a period where this philosophy was largely superseded by social economy principles and public interest, followed by its resurgence in the last three decades of the 20th century. Through interviews with journalists, economists, jurists, and philosophers, "Laissez-faire" provides a historical perspective on Neoliberalism and its contemporary role in shaping governmental decisions and everyday life. The collection aims to illustrate how this ideology has gained prominence, often prioritizing the freedoms of a select few over broader societal well-being. The two films within the collection are "Laissez-faire" (2015) and "Laboratory Greece" (2019). The total budget for the collection was zero, and the total revenue generated was also zero. This documentary series offers a historical exploration of Neoliberalism's evolution and its ongoing effect on the world.
