Answer 1

The group that benefited the least from the early development of laissez-faire capitalism in Europe would likely be enslaved African men. They were subjected to horrendous conditions, exploitation, and brutality as a result of the capitalist system that prioritized profit over human rights and dignity. Unlike landowning White men and upper-class White women who had some level of privilege and power, enslaved African men were viewed as property and had virtually no rights or opportunities for advancement. Factory workers also faced harsh working conditions and low wages, but they at least had the potential to organize and advocate for better working conditions through labor unions and other means.
