I found the following sentences in a book:
"Let the world have its own ways. Mind your own affairs".
I thought it should have been "Let the world has its own ways...". But my friend felt that it is correct as is. (When I re-read the sentence, I felt that my friend could be right). However, neither of us can explain the reason for our choices. Can you please help us?
Should it be "has" or "have"?

Re: Should it be "has" or "have"?
Of course 'have' is correct: the infinitive form is required here.
