It's a well-known economic, capitalism model that's been around since the
mid-50s (and perhaps earlier). Milton Friedman was part of the movement
that
promoted that sort of laissez-faire model, wherein all restrictions are
removed. It has never worked and will never work.


it was a fundamentalist view of economics that served the rich with
its mythology.

Correct. It was a philosophical belief that doesn't work in the real world.
Even dictators wouldn't implement it fully.
