"Allow to do." Let alone to do what they will.

Translation
Let it happen.
Neither market nor free is mentioned. The closest is interpretted as 'hands off of' or "enough said" (fair enough)

@jehova not correct. In France "let it happen" is "permetttre a se passer"., to happen is se passer. Laisser means"let". Laissez is the imperative form.

@Roundandroundwego let happen?

What it literally means and what it actually means are two different things.

In economics/politics it means the government should not interfere with natural market forces.

@Northwest literally let happen yet marijuana and hemp are still hyper regulated and illegal federally. Does that sound like "no-interference"?
