Economic Liberalism

You believe that free markets and minimal government intervention will lead to increased individual freedom, economic growth, and overall prosperity.

Economic liberalism is a political ideology that advocates for a minimal role for the government in the economy. It is based on the principles of individual freedom, private property rights, free markets, and competition. Economic liberals believe that these principles lead to the most efficient allocation of resources and the greatest overall prosperity. They argue that government intervention in the economy, such as through regulation or taxation, often does more harm than good by distorting market signals and creating inefficiencies.

The roots of economic liberalism can be traced…

What measures would you take to protect the planet in the absence of environmental regulation?

 @9KYB9Z4Peace and Freedom from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

I would like to make fans to prevent the ice from melting.

 @9KYBJ96 from California  answered…2yrs2Y

i would protest if we dont do something soon the world is gonna die a lot sooner then we know

 @9KYB9CWGreen from Minnesota  answered…2yrs2Y

Making policies to protect our planet is crucial to ensure quality of life for the future

 @9KYB666 from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut down on what you throw away. Follow the three "R's" to conserve natural resources and landfill space.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If there were no regulations setting the school curriculum, what subjects would you choose to study and why?

 @9LDS3S3 answered…2yrs2Y

I'd choose to study things that are more significant to our society, like taxes and the current states and well-being of other nations so we can size-up how we'd compare in the future and what we should be aiming for in the present to ensure we're ready on an international level.

 @9LGDBDJ from Florida  agreed…2yrs2Y

Since we do not know much about how taxes work, where they go, etc; many people have problems with filing their taxes and understanding how they work. I also believe that it is important for us to learn the well-being of other nations because it helps us as a society to know in which direction to move, where to improve, and what areas need more development. This will also translate to more effective voting and a better work force.

 @9LDT46S from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

I believe that educational fundamentals of math, science, language arts, factual history, political science, and technology are important to build a foundation, but I’d like for our schools to also teach students how to think critically, research effectively, and explore intellectual curiosities. Additionally, students should also learn useful life skills such as how to manage personal finances, introduction to basic investment strategies, the importance of credit ratings. There should also be exposure to matters of career development, problem solving and conflict resolution, navigating…  Read more

 @9LDS8GG from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

Math, Science, Spanish, and Literacy. These will help me in the future.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Picture a society where all your roads are toll-based; how would this affect your daily life?

 @9LDS2Z2Democrat from Iowa  answered…2yrs2Y

This would be crazy paying for tolls everyday just to go to work and gas on top of that would not help Economy.

 @9LFKRDZ from Texas  agreed…2yrs2Y

Having to purchase and pay off a vehicle while also paying for insurance and gas bi-weekly is enough money spent already, having to spend more money just to go to work would damage the economy. Any one commuting from a town to Dallas would spend well over 100 dollars on tolls and gas bi weekly.

 @9LDSBRBDemocrat from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

I would not want to go anywhere because I would have to pay lots money just to leave my county.

 @9LDSBCZ from Iowa  answered…2yrs2Y

Maybe it would get out of hand having a minimal role for the government

 @9LDRYVLDemocratanswered…2yrs2Y

It would make my driving time longer and way more expensive to drive

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How much do you think a society can trust individuals to make responsible economic decisions without any government guidance?

 @9H9G8Y4Democrat  from Wisconsin  answered…3yrs3Y

People are more likely to have a multitude of different thoughts and ideas that conflict with what should be done in favor of what possibly selfish people want. This causes a multitude of different areas that could have been condensed into a more streamlined process with a government.

 @9H9G768 from North Carolina  answered…3yrs3Y

I think as a society we have shown that we are unable to make the correct decisions in regards to economic decisions making.

 @9H9G5CPanswered…3yrs3Y

Society should have little trust in individuals who can make responsible economic decisions without any govt guidance.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

What personal dreams or ambitions do you feel would be more achievable in a society with no government intervention in business?

 @9HMZNRQRepublicananswered…3yrs3Y

I think young buisnessmen jsut starting up a business would be able to me more successful and find a fresher start if the gov't didn't have has much intervention in business as it does today.

 @9HMZSRT from West Virginia  answered…3yrs3Y

I believe that many dreams and achievements can't be achieved in a market not regulated as the market is ruthless and people love money, so it will be a dog eat dog world out there, killing off many businesses only leaving the big corporations.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Would you prefer a job market with no minimum wage, relying solely on your skills to negotiate pay?

 @9H5DD87 from Pennsylvania  answered…3yrs3Y

No, minimum wage must be required as a safeguard for the working class to not suffer abuse from employers.

 @9H5DDQRfrom Maine  commented…3yrs3Y

I agree but it should not grow too fast and shall be determined by municipalities

 @9HF98YK from Florida  commented…3yrs3Y

it call flexible wages, wage go up, can go down

 @9H5D8C2Democrat from New Jersey  answered…3yrs3Y

I would prefer a job with no minimum wage because There is a higher chance of being paid more.

 @9H5DBXYfrom Maine  answered…3yrs3Y

No! Minimun wages should be in place and people should be able to live on them!!!

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If public schooling shifted to a wholly for-profit model, how would that influence your educational aspirations or expectations?

 @9J32877Republican from Nevada  answered…2yrs2Y

I would say it wouldn't affect me as a kid because I am in the school to learn not to see if the school is for or not for profit.

 @9J2ZSC6 from Indiana  answered…2yrs2Y

My educational aspirations and expectations would increase.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Imagine starting a business with very few rules; is that more exciting or scary to you?

 @9H5SB8S from Texas  answered…3yrs3Y

This would not be ideal and would be scary as less rules could potentially lead to more chaos and eventually worsen the environment in the business. As much as rules seem limiting it is still needed to have an efficient and smooth business.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Can you imagine a world where your healthcare and education quality depend entirely on your ability to pay?

 @9H7GBN8Democrat from South Carolina  answered…3yrs3Y

No, education and healthcare of basic rights everyone should have no matter your paycheck

 @9H7G842 from New York  answered…3yrs3Y

I think its unfair to 60% of all Americans since not everyone in America is rich we mostly are poor or middle class people

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

If you could buy anything, no matter how dangerous, how would you ensure your own safety or the safety of others?

 @9HMYZC2Republican from New York  answered…3yrs3Y

you should be able to buy whatever you want, leave others out if its dangerous.

 @9HMYZ7K from Michigan  answered…3yrs3Y

You wouldn't because there is a lot of unsafe people in the world and they can't b trusted

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Without any legal obligation, would you expect companies to invest in the communities they operate in, and why?

 @9KBWFQKLibertarian from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

No, because that leads to creations of company towns and the undermining of the U.S. Dollar, especially now that it is off of the Gold Standard.

 @9KBVNXQ from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

I would so because Economic Liberalism is legal and also legal for each government and how Economic Liberalism helps each government

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would your choices as a consumer be different if there was no minimum wage affecting the cost of goods and services?

 @9JP3WXRanswered…2yrs2Y

I believe that my choices as a consumer would remain much the same. However, I do believe that not having a minimum wage would drastically decrease the price of goods and services, and could be beneficial.

 @9JP339K from Maryland  answered…2yrs2Y

goods and services would be higher and minimum wage would not be able to pay

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Without government-imposed environmental regulations, how would you personally contribute to protecting nature?

 @9HMZK2B from Maryland  answered…3yrs3Y

I will continue to not litter streets with trash and waste.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How would your approach to spending change if there were no consumer protection laws?

 @9HN22JB from Minnesota  answered…3yrs3Y

Without consumer protection laws, I would likely adopt a more cautious approach to spending. I might conduct thorough research on products and services, seek recommendations, and scrutinize terms and conditions before making purchases to mitigate potential risks.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you think people's choices about work and leisure would change if there were no regulations on working hours or vacations?

 @9KBWM6W from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

People would always take vacations, not everyone but a lot of people would use this to their advantage.

 @9KBWB9B from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

I believe that people should be expected to work but also play. There needs to be a balance of work and life. If someone completes their work for the day, there is no need for them to stair aimlessly at a laptop for the rest of the day. That being said, I don’t want people to take advantage of that. There needs to be a lot of self control.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In a world with complete job flexibility and no labor laws, what would be your strategy to ensure fair employment and work-life balance?

 @9HTZ9QG from Illinois  commented…2yrs2Y

I would suggest to unionize workers and allow the employer and employees to work out fair and tolerable exchanges.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How would you feel if the government had no say in the pricing of your favorite products?

 @9H5S2J6 from Minnesota  answered…3yrs3Y

That would be stupid. Companys have no interest in protecting regular citizens only in profit. Letting them do as they please would make the country worse.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you think the absence of minimum wage laws would affect your future job prospects and lifestyle?

 @9LDRJMHanswered…2yrs2Y

Personally, as someone who does not work to wish a minimum wage job and instead work as a firefighter or police officer, I believe no minimum wage will hurt the economy more than benefit it but it does not apply to me, unless firefighters and cops were switched to a minimum wage system.

 @9LDRGV9Independentanswered…2yrs2Y

Personally, I intend to seek higher education which would not really make me interested in minimum wage jobs. I don't think that that would be convenient for everyone though.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would you feel about your security if police services were privatized and you could choose your provider based on cost and quality?

 @9J5YXDBVeteran from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

i feel that this is dumb and you should not have to pay

 @9J5YVF3 from California  answered…2yrs2Y

I would be scared, it should be the the same for everybody

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If job market safety nets like unemployment benefits didn't exist, how would that change your approach to career planning?

 @9LDV3JJWomen’s Equality from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

The absence of job market safety nets would likely lead to a more cautious and risk-averse approach to career planning. While this might have some positive effects on productivity and work ethic, it could also stifle innovation and economic growth in the long term.

 @9LDTVTTDemocrat from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

If job market safety nets like unemployment benefits didn't exist, it would significantly impact individuals' approach to career planning. Without such safety nets, individuals would likely adopt a more cautious and risk-averse approach to career decisions, prioritizing stability and immediate financial security over long-term aspirations.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If media could broadcast anything without regulations, how would you assess the reliability of information?

 @9KYCQSJ from Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

I would look for accredited sites and reliable people

 @9KYBBDLDemocrat from California  answered…2yrs2Y

The Economist tending towards economic liberalism (or as Americans would say, economic conservatism, perhaps even libertarianism). 98

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Without student loans or grants, what alternative paths might you consider for your education?

 @9KY9SHT from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

Scholarships, Getting a Job, or Asking my Parents.

 @9KS27SV from Kentucky  commented…2yrs2Y

We can tax the rich of more money and we can use some of that funding towards student loans or grants and as these people grow and find stability they must pay the loans or grants that they have with a 2% interest rate.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What strategies would you employ to verify the truth in news and information without regulatory oversight?

 @9JQLCBDIndependent from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

stop allowing publishers known to deliver fake news from publishing

 @9JQL7HH from Connecticut  answered…2yrs2Y

I think the strategies should be sure to take all Americans into account and not leave anyone out.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In a world without safety nets, how would you plan for unforeseen life events like illness or job loss?

 @9JGS5SV from Ohio  answered…2yrs2Y

I would make sure that I am putting money away specifically for illness and job loss separate from life savings.

 @9JGS2JCLibertarian from Missouri  answered…2yrs2Y

Family, community resources like churches and charities ... they fill the needs

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

In a world where everyone pays for their own road use, how do you think that would impact your family or community?

 @9HMZ87Y  from New York  answered…3yrs3Y

Nobody would be on the roads because that’s to much money being spend

 @9HMZ6ND from Maryland  answered…3yrs3Y

it would impact us a lot because there are so many roads around us that get uses everyday

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If the balance between work and personal life were solely in your hands, how would you manage it?

 @9KYCWQ3Green from New Hampshire  answered…2yrs2Y

I would keep work and personal life separate for the most part, but I wouldn't want it solely in my hands. I want people to decide how they mix the two for themselves.

 @9KY9CCN from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

I would learn to live below my means but properly budget

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Imagine your neighborhood with no public amenities like parks or libraries; how would that impact your sense of community?

 @9J637NS from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

it would impact the overall entertainment and might decrease the overall people in that specific city and people would rely on the internet to read and their own entertainment

 @9J62ZBR from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

There wouldn’t be much community cause there would be no place to socialize.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Do you believe people would voluntarily care for public spaces like parks and roads without government involvement?

 @9HMZNK7Peace and Freedom from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

No because people are bums when it comes to things that aren't theirs

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How would your education or career choices change if there were no regulations on schools or professions?

 @9HPDCHRanswered…3yrs3Y

People wouldn't be taught the skills they need for a career or even to work. The workforce would slowly fall apart because as a high school student, if there was no regulations I know tons of people would leave. If we got rid of all of this stuff we worked so hard to build up, then what was the point?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would you safeguard your personal data in a completely free market with no data protection laws in place?

 @9J4V7XT from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

I oppose economic liberalism, but in a true laissez-faire economy with no data protection laws, I would use a VPN as one of my security measures.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you think your personal aspirations would align with a society driven entirely by market forces?

 @9KNWX98Independent from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

I don't think the government should have control over the matters of personal economics. While some broader regulations should be in place, I don't think the government has the right to say what companies can and cannot do.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Would you enjoy the freedom to buy and sell whatever you want without government-imposed restrictions?

 @9H7KGGH from Massachusetts  answered…3yrs3Y

yes I think it is important to be able to sell what you want without the goverment being noisy

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How would it affect your daily life if there were no public services and everything was run by private companies?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Would you be more inclined to start your own business if there were no regulations to navigate, and why?
