It is difficult to pinpoint one specific group that benefited the least from laissez-faire capitalism in Europe as the impact varied across different countries and time periods. However, historically disadvantaged groups such as the working class, peasants, and marginalized communities typically struggled to benefit from laissez-faire capitalism due to inequality, exploitative labor conditions, and limited access to resources and opportunities. Additionally, colonial subjects and indigenous populations experienced significant oppression and exploitation under European laissez-faire capitalism, with their lands and resources often extracted for the benefit of colonial powers.
