So it's not surprising that the economists of the time, who were called the Physiocrats, actually put the center of their attention to farm labor.

所以那时的经，也被称为重农义者，他们实际上把注意力放在了农业劳动上。

The origins of laissez-faire are associated with the Physiocrats, a group of 18th-century French economists who believed that government policy should not interfere with the operation of natural economic laws.

自由放任义的起源与重农义者有关，这是一群 18 世纪的法国经，他们认为不应干预自然经规律的运作。

Smith rejected government intervention in the economy to help merchants—the source of the name " mercantilism" —and instead advocated free markets along the lines of the French economists, the Physiocrats, who had coined the term laissez faire.

史密斯拒绝为帮助商人而干预经——“重商义”这个名字的来源——而是按照法国经、重农义者的路线提倡自由市场，重农义者创造了“自由放任”一词。
