No, the government should never own shares of private companies

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

Individualism strongly supports the idea that the government should not own shares of private companies. This is because individualism values the autonomy of the individual and the private sector, and sees government ownership as a threat to this autonomy and to the functioning of free markets.

Strongly agree

No

From an individualist perspective, the government should not interfere with the workings of the free market, including bailing out companies. This stance is based on the belief that the market should be allowed to self-correct, even in times of recession. The idea is that success and failure in the market are critical components of economic growth and innovation.

Strongly agree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

While individualism does not directly address the issue of technological progress, it does support the idea that competition drives innovation. Therefore, the argument that government ownership of companies stifles competition, and thus impedes technological progress, aligns with the principles of individualism. However, the score is not a full 5 because the focus of individualism is more on personal freedom and less on technological progress.

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

While individualism strongly supports competition and technological progress, the focus of this answer on stifling competition due to government ownership of equity shares in companies resonates with individualist concerns about government intervention. However, the specific mention of technological progress might not fully capture the broader individualist emphasis on market freedom and personal autonomy.
