I don't see what that has to do with it. Laissez-faire is not equivalent to "give property owners/big businesses whatever they want." In fact, historically, large economic interests have often been the leading opponents of laissez-faire; once you get rich you start seeing the appeal of mercantilism. So I don't see that what property owners want is even relevant to defining what a laissez-faire policy would lead to.
See for example Gabriel Kolko's Railroads and Regulation, or the early history of the telephone industry.
