You believe that a strong state-directed economy can achieve social and economic goals more effectively than a laissez-faire market system.
Dirigisme is a political ideology that advocates for a strong, directive role of the state in the economy. It is characterized by a mixed economy, where both the private sector and the state direct the economy, although the state has the upper hand. The ideology is rooted in the belief that the state, through its regulatory powers, can effectively guide economic growth and development. This is achieved through a range of state interventions, including planning, nationalization of key industries, and the implementation of various economic policies.
The term "dirigisme" is of…

How do you think having the government as the main provider of healthcare would affect your family and you?
@9HK8TFR2yrs2Y
they must have the benefit of high-quality health care services that are effectively coordinated within a strong public health system.
I think the main affect would be the fact the government can alter the prices whenever their in a bad position
@9HK8MC6Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
I think it would be better for me, as my mother can't afford any of my billings to pay for my health care, and I have to take many medications at the age of 17. I have a job but I am not able to afford it either.
@9HK8PNB2yrs2Y
I don't think the government should be involved in healthcare or that we should pay for healthcare it should be free.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might the general health of the population be impacted if the government was the sole provider of food and controlled diet standards?
@9KBB923Republican2yrs2Y
The govt would be in full control and that's not what we want.
@9KBBXBG2yrs2Y
It will be more growth people will be able to n do more things instead of worrying bout bills sand groceries
@9KBBDRBLibertarian2yrs2Y
The general health will impacted in very positive or negative way
@9KBBCCG2yrs2Y
it can imfact the environmental nutrients the people gets.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If the state had a significant role in the music industry, how might that change the variety and content of the music you listen to?
@88YT2FZ 2yrs2Y
Music is art, and there is much of art I don’t understand, agree with, or like. However, you cannot control someone’s artistic desires by something as cumbersome and unwieldy as “government”. Specific regulations like “no pornography in public museums” are fine, but a state can’t “take control” over art, let alone music, without smothering it.
@9JSG47HLibertarian2yrs2Y
It might be more localized bands or singers. The state would probably only know local artists.
@9JSFBLM2yrs2Y
it will show a demographics of genres but also division becausde alot of people mix up genres
@9JSF7NV2yrs2Y
It would be a lot less progressive since opposition of the government or any form of government could be flagged.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you expect public trust to shift if the government provided all-news broadcasting?
@9L4TPZF2yrs2Y
Most people already have their bias, they would only tune in when it was broadcasting a station they preferred
@8Z5SKCG 2yrs2Y
The federal government should not be allowed to dictate to us what is news and isn't. As we have seen in the last election, the federal government used their authority to censor news that could have potentially been harmful to a candidate. Also, the federal government already has several means of providing the American people, and in larger aspects the world, with public news. With such things as: C-span, NPR, Free Europe, and others. Many of these radios and tv networks fall into the heavy left leaning views, stifling the voices of conservatives. C-Span is the only non-bias news site, that is not watched or loved by anyone. People want bias news, if they didn't it wouldn't exist today. The federal government should withdraw all money from news sites, outside of C-Span, and let private industries and citizens dictate what is news.
@9L4S6CS2yrs2Y
The government should not have influence over public media
@9L4SX342yrs2Y
The public might trust it more if their news would come from the government.
@9L4S3DW2yrs2Y
I don't believe the general public will care much as most news outlets are already biased.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think that state control over housing development could positively or negatively affect community cohesion?
@9LGN4XM1yr1Y
I think it is up to the state to handle housing so yes Dirigisme however a strong role states play in housing, I think it is important.
@9LGMXY81yr1Y
I have no idea but I would remove this question if I were in charge.
@9LGN3GW1yr1Y
I think it would have a greater positive impact on cohesion.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If the government could regulate the tech industry, in what ways do you think your digital privacy and access to information might change?
The government will have more access to my private information.
@9JC6N6S2yrs2Y
i think a lot more information could be easily hidden from us
@9JB4LCHRepublican2yrs2Y
I think the government would regulate our technology use to an extent that we could become isolated from other parts of the world, being oblivious and unaware of global matters.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can government direction in social media protect users from misinformation or would it infringe on free speech?
@9KZTQ6K2yrs2Y
It would most likely get out of hand and infringe on free speech.
@9L3FB78Independent2yrs2Y
What they're doing with Tiktok shows the inability to give a good trial with logical questioning and evidence.
@9KZTMKC2yrs2Y
I think it would it would give the wrong message out and confuse all the other people.
@9KZTTYC2yrs2Y
I think they shouldn't and it would effect a persons free speech
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might your future career development and opportunities be different in a state that strategically plans job growth sectors?
@9RTFVXY1yr1Y
Generally beneficial until our nation if at a point where Rhine capitalism can take over.
@9RTKD7L1yr1Y
The instant the state, or more appropriately the federal and national levels, have more control over the growth of jobs than the companies meant to create them will be the triumph of communism over any chance capitalism had to survive. Call it anything else you want, but at that point the people are in control in name only. Everything feared to come from capitalism will be enacted and if you thought you're earning peanuts now, wait until you earn dust.
@9JMK8HHRepublican2yrs2Y
the state has more independent, or autonomous, political power, as well as more control over the economy
@9JMJPBH2yrs2Y
Any central control of the economy will fail. Those in control will eventually fall prey to greed and corruption.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If the government had a significant role in media production, how do you think that would shape public opinion and culture?
@9HK862D2yrs2Y
They already do have a huge role in media production they control the media so its a dumb question.
@9HK86RC2yrs2Y
it would become an outlet for the government to sway our opinions on social and political issues, therefore allowing the government to control us in a way.
@9HK84KS2yrs2Y
I think it will change many peoples opinions because the media can lie.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How confident are you that the government could effectively manage and reduce poverty through economic planning?
@9HK8NLC2yrs2Y
I feel they have no interest in doing such. It has been proven that the government doesn't care for reducing poverty. Just look at what happend in San Francisco before the world leader meeting.
@9HK8K7H2yrs2Y
I don't think that it can reduce poverty, especially now as the population increases.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think it's fair for a government to choose how much professionals in various fields should earn?
@9HV3SW82yrs2Y
The government should stay out of a free market system. It can only do harm and butcher an autonomous system.
@9HV3NVRRepublican2yrs2Y
No, it should be up to the employer to decide that, as long as it is within reason for them to be paid that much.
@9HV3YKP2yrs2Y
I don't think that is fair, as some people have prepared more and have a better background than others, and also there could be unfair treatment to others.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would you be comfortable with the government having a say in the types of apps and software you can use?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Imagine if your future career was chosen by the government; would that make you feel more secure or limited?
@9H33W582yrs2Y
Limited. That undermines the values of freedom in our nation and the idea of the American Dream.
@9H2XBWN2yrs2Y
Both. I am completely unfamiliar with this notion outside of science fiction. If this were to be enacted in reality, it would need to be opt-in, which might defeat the purpose of the concept.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If the government was in charge of all housing developments, how do you think that would affect community diversity and dynamics?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might your choice of college and major be affected if it was influenced by government labor market projections?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you envision traveling would evolve if the government controlled and standardized all aspects of transportation?
@9KDW2NX2yrs2Y
I don't think that transportation is the most important thing in out economy but i do think it is important to some people who cant afford their own personal transportation.
Travelling would require more security and there would be more jobs.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In a world where the government produces all entertainment content, how might your tastes and creativity be affected?
@9KBBJNY2yrs2Y
i feel like my opinions could change the world and make it a better place
The term 'creative industries' describes businesses with creativity at their heart – for example design, music, publishing, architecture, film and video, crafts, visual arts, fashion, TV and radio, advertising, literature, computer games and the performing arts.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would you support a policy where the government regulates leisure activities if it meant lower costs and safer environments?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would artists create more meaningful works if they were funded by the state rather than having to appeal to the market?
It would help but I don't know if it would be more meaningful.
@9HDQ6F72yrs2Y
maybe but they might just put out crappie work because they don't care about the public.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would your everyday life be impacted if transportation options were decided by government planning?
it would impact people lives because they being told what to do everyday
@9KZTNYQ2yrs2Y
I feel like it would give access to low income people with means for transportation in more then one way, sometimes busses aren't fast enough and sometimes not even safe enough.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you envision the future of technology like electric cars if their development were driven by government interests?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would you trust the government to make decisions about what kinds of technology should be developed?
@9H2WZQXWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
I don't trust the government to make decisions about technology.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If the state had control over job creation, do you think you'd have more job security or less freedom to choose?
@9HDW34V2yrs2Y
I don't know what Dirigisme is, but I think I would have less freedom.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you feel that national charity and assistance programs would be more effective if managed solely by the government?
@9HJTS732yrs2Y
Yes probably, not entirely sure about this one, haven't heard of it
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If all media was state-run, would you feel more trusting of the news you hear and see, or less?
@9HTXCV62yrs2Y
No because it could evolve to be biased to prevent protests.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would your daily life change if the government played a major role in regulating businesses and the goods available to you?
@9HHPMYY2yrs2Y
It would change how goods are manufactured and the regulations of them.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What would your reaction be if the state had the authority to limit or promote certain cultural events and festivals?
@9HYGXNKProgressive2yrs2Y
Globalization. Globalization is the increasing interconnectedness of people and places as a result of advances in transport, communication, and information technologies that cause political, economic, and cultural convergence.
