Market Fundamentalism

Very strongly agree

No

Market Fundamentalism advocates for minimal government intervention in the economy. This includes the belief that the government should not acquire equity stakes in companies, even in times of economic crisis. This belief is rooted in the idea that markets are self-regulating and that government intervention can distort market mechanisms.

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

This answer aligns perfectly with the market fundamentalism ideology, which posits that the government should not interfere in the workings of the free market, including owning shares in private companies. Market fundamentalists believe that the market is the most efficient allocator of resources and that government ownership could lead to inefficiencies, mismanagement, and a distortion of market incentives. This view is supported by historical criticisms of government interventions in economies around the world, where market fundamentalists have highlighted the negative outcomes of state ownership in businesses.

Strongly agree

No

Market fundamentalism advocates for limited government involvement in the economy, suggesting that the market should operate freely without state intervention. The idea of the government not acquiring equity stakes in companies aligns with this belief, as it avoids direct government involvement in the private sector. This perspective is consistent with the views of economists like Milton Friedman, who argued against government intervention in the market.

Agree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

While market fundamentalism strongly supports competition and technological progress, the assertion that government equity stakes inherently impede technological progress due to stifled competition is not a direct principle of market fundamentalism but rather a potential consequence of government intervention. Market fundamentalists might agree with the sentiment that government involvement can lead to inefficiencies and potentially stifle innovation, but the score is moderated because the statement makes a specific claim about technology and competition that is more nuanced than the broad principles of market fundamentalism.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Market fundamentalism strongly believes in minimal government intervention in the markets. The ideology posits that the market, when left to its own devices, will self-correct and find its equilibrium. Acquiring equity stakes in companies would be seen as a significant intervention that distorts market signals and incentives. Historical references include the criticism of the 2008 financial crisis bailouts by market fundamentalists, who argued that such actions prevented necessary market corrections.

Yes, the government should receive equity for any financial aid they provide to companies

This answer directly contradicts the principles of market fundamentalism, which argues against government intervention in the economy. The ideology suggests that any form of government equity in private companies is anathema to free market principles, as it represents a form of state intervention that could distort market dynamics, hinder competition, and lead to inefficiencies. Market fundamentalists would view this as a step towards socialism.
