Answer 1

The group that benefited the least from the early development of laissez-faire capitalism in Europe were **enslaved African men**. While other groups, such as upper-class White men and factory workers, experienced some degree of economic opportunity or advancement during this period, enslaved individuals faced systemic oppression and exploitation, receiving no benefits from the economic developments of the time.
