Mixmutz'al K'iwik is a traditional Mutulese political and economical philosophy that consider the role of a government is to allow for a Market economy to develop itself, enforce private property, and ensure the safe and free travel of both people and goods. Philosophers from this school also made the distinction between state regulations and state intervention. They tend to be supportive of the former, but are always opposed to the latter, considering it to be outside of the State's prerogative, which is to set the cadre for exchanges and control them, not create or enforce these flux.

Origin

The first philosopher to use the expression "Mixmutz'al K'iwik" was Chab'uk, a priest and advisor at the Chaan court between 200 and 189 BC. He defended a politic based on strengthening the central state, incarnated by the K'uhul Ajaw, but also of a form of economic laissez-faire. He wrote: "The Divine Lord chase the Brigands and handle justice. Under his watch no thief will go unpunished. Under his Hand, all will go free of fear. Without fear and with justice, there will be harmony. When there's harmony, there's prosperity. The Hand then no longer has to move, for it is the shielding sky over the Earth."

Chab'uk and his predecessors' ideas were greatly popular under the Chaan. It was the philosophical aspect of the ongoing structuration of the so-called "Market System" which already existed under the Paol'lunyu Dynasty but in a more archaic fashion.
