'Laissez faire' philosophy is an anti thesis of

  • A.Interventionist State
  • B.Repressive State
  • C.Soft State
  • D.Welfare State

Answer: D

Laissez faire, the doctrine that the state should leave the economy and society alone, is the antithesis of the welfare state, which takes responsibility for the social and economic well-being of its citizens. So the answer is Welfare State.

An interventionist state is also opposed to laissez faire, but the welfare state is the standard term used as its counterpart in the keyed answer. A repressive state and a soft state are different concepts, concerned with the use of force and with weak enforcement of rules, and they are not defined by their attitude to market intervention.
