Introduction
	In the modern sense the term Laisse Faire and Free Market mean about the same thing; minimal government involvement in the economy. The United States has seen a push over the last 20 years to privatize public services and/or dismantle laws that attempt to regulate particular markets. Free market proponents often advocate that consumer cost can be decreased and services improved if private companies took over government services or are allowed to operate with fewer government laws and regulaltions. The public has seen changes in last two decades to laws regulating air flight, bus routes, banking, telecommunications, as well as the privatization of public hospitals, administrative services and schools. But does Adam Smith's Invisible Hand really exist? Will consumer demand force suppliers to provide their goods and services at a fair and reasonable price?
