Which idea would william Graham Sumner most likely support?

1. Socialism 2. Laissez-faire 3. Manifest Destiny 4. Gospel of wealth

Good Morning!

Graham Sumner is known for his tendencies to defend extreme freedom. Socialism prevents this perspective because it plans the economy. Manifest destiny prevents this perspective because it defends a kind of determinism and the Gospel of Wealth ends up falling into the same mistakes. Sumner would be closer to the idea of "Laissez-faire," since he is also known as a type of libertarian and would therefore defend the free market.

hugs!
