This problem has been discussed by various ethical philosophers in the Western world from the ancient period to the nowadays. Hobbes explained that the world of words is operated by the totally different function from the world of mathematics and the world of natural science.
In order to make a consistent order, Hobbes claimed, in Leviathan, that we need the legitimate law and order authorised by a legitimate political structure.
Kant said it is our transcendental duty to follow the ethical axiom, as same as following the mathematical axiom, as much as possible (These two groups have to keep repenting themselves).
Aristotle and Ayn Rand were against these two points. The "reality" already explicitly shows 1+1=2, and these two groups in this pic are simply deluded by their unreal illusion. Then, Aristotle and Ayn Rand defied both any autocratic command unlike Hobbes and any abstract principle we cannot see unlike Kant, and so they supported "Laissez-faire (Let us do)", and the right one (The closest to the reality) wins in the nature of reality.
