You have no clue to as to what Hayek and Freidman were saying. They
were an extension of the classical economist who spoke heavily against
government intervention. Smith nor Freidman sup****ted colonialism or
the government policies of the eras you speak of. They were clearly
against Merchantilism which was a  characteristic of these ages. You
are really not arguing that Colonialism was free trade and Laisez-
Faire. Are you? Sorry but setting up monopolies, banning certain
im****ts and forcing others to buy your ex****ts at the point of a gun
is not capitalism.
