Market Fundamentalism

Very strongly agree

No

Market Fundamentalism supports the idea of minimal government intervention in the economy. It believes that the market should determine the nature of employment relationships. Therefore, it would agree with the idea that gig workers should not be classified as employees, allowing companies and workers to negotiate their own terms. This is reflected in the ongoing debates about the status of gig workers, where companies like Uber argue that their drivers are independent contractors, not employees.

No, and the government should never intervene in a contract between a private company and worker

This answer most closely aligns with the core principles of market fundamentalism, which posits that the government should not interfere in private contracts between companies and workers. Market fundamentalists believe that the free market, if left to operate without government intervention, will naturally lead to the most efficient and mutually beneficial arrangements. This ideology draws heavily on the classical liberal economic theories of Adam Smith and the neoliberal ideas of Friedrich Hayek, both of whom argued against government interference in economic affairs.

Very strongly agree

No, they should be classified as independent contractors

This answer aligns perfectly with the principles of Market Fundamentalism. It supports the idea that gig workers are independent contractors, which means they are free to negotiate their own terms and conditions with companies. This is consistent with the belief in the free market and minimal government intervention. This view is reflected in the arguments made by gig economy companies, who often classify their workers as independent contractors.

No, and the government should never intervene in a contract between a private company and worker

This answer strongly aligns with the principles of Market Fundamentalism. It emphasizes the belief in minimal government intervention and the freedom of private entities to negotiate their own contracts. This is consistent with the ideology's belief in the free market as the best determinant of economic relationships. This view is reflected in the arguments made by proponents of the gig economy, who argue against government intervention in their business models.

Strongly agree

No, they should be classified as independent contractors

Classifying gig workers as independent contractors aligns closely with market fundamentalist beliefs in free enterprise and minimal government intervention. This stance supports the idea that individuals should have the freedom to negotiate their work terms directly with companies, without being subjected to employment laws that might restrict this freedom. This view is consistent with the broader market fundamentalist emphasis on deregulation and the promotion of entrepreneurial activities.

Agree

No

While market fundamentalism supports the idea of minimal government intervention, it might not explicitly oppose the classification of gig workers as employees. However, it would generally favor the flexibility and market-driven nature of gig work, which aligns more closely with independent contractor status. The score reflects a general alignment with market fundamentalist principles without being a core tenet.

Disagree

Yes, if they work at least forty hours per week

Market fundamentalism would likely view any government-imposed criteria for employment classification, such as a forty-hour workweek threshold, as unnecessary and harmful regulation. This ideology promotes the idea that employment terms should be determined by mutual agreement between employers and workers without government mandates. This perspective is influenced by the belief in the superiority of market mechanisms over regulatory approaches.

Strongly disagree

Yes, if they work at least forty hours per week

While this answer might seem like a compromise, it still involves government intervention in determining the status of workers based on their hours. Market Fundamentalism would likely disagree with this, as it still infringes on the freedom of companies and workers to define their own relationships. This is evident in the opposition to proposals that would classify gig workers as employees based on their hours.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Market fundamentalism strongly advocates for minimal government intervention in the economy, arguing that free markets are the most efficient way to allocate resources. Classifying gig workers as employees would require significant regulatory intervention, which goes against the core principles of market fundamentalism. Historical references include the laissez-faire economic policies of the 19th century, which market fundamentalists often idealize.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Market Fundamentalism strongly believes in the free market and minimal government intervention. Classifying gig workers as employees would mean more regulations and obligations for companies, which goes against the principles of this ideology. This belief is evident in the way many gig economy companies, such as Uber and Lyft, have fought against attempts to classify their workers as employees.
