Resumen

The study allowed to establish the philosophical foundations of the market and the government. Within this framework, the market is conceived as a spontaneous order that is based on evolutionary rationalism that recognizes abstraction as the only instrument with which our mind can deal with a reality; instead, the government constitutes a built order based on constructivist rationalism that does not recognize abstract concepts, they are the result of human design. In this way, the state intervention of the government, being a built order, should not hinder the spontaneous order of the market, but on the contrary, should set the essential conditions for exchanges to flow in the various markets. However, in most cases, the governments of the various countries end up excessively interfering in the markets, causing in some cases, certain privileges and thus affecting the spontaneous order of the market.
