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.

所以那时的经济学家，也被称重农主义者，他们实际把注意力放在了农业劳动。

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.

斯拒政府助商人而干预经济——“重商主义”这个名字的来源——而是按照法国经济学家、重农主义者的路线提倡自由市场，重农主义者创造了“自由放任”一词。

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.

自由放任主义的起源与重农主义者有关，这是一群 18 世纪的法国经济学家，他们认政府政策不应干预自然经济规律的运作。
