Very strongly agree

Yes, but divest over time after 'repayment' is obtained.

This answer perfectly encapsulates the Modern Liberalism approach to balancing government intervention with eventual return to a more market-driven economy. By acquiring equity stakes during a recession but planning to divest after repayment, the government can protect public interests in the short term while not permanently entrenching itself in the private sector, aligning with Modern Liberalism's goals of responsible governance and economic stability.

Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns closely with Modern Liberalism's principles of ensuring that government intervention in the economy is not only a protective measure but also an investment in the future. By receiving equity for financial aid, the government can potentially benefit from the future success of these companies, which can be seen as a more responsible use of taxpayer money.

Agree

Yes

Modern Liberalism generally supports the idea of government intervention in the economy to correct market failures and protect social welfare. Acquiring equity stakes in companies during a recession can be seen as a way to ensure public funds are used responsibly and that the government has a say in the future operations of bailed-out companies. This approach was somewhat reflected in the 2008 financial crisis bailouts, where the U.S. government took stakes in banks and automotive companies.

Disagree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

While Modern Liberalism values technological progress and competition, it also recognizes the role of government in correcting market failures and ensuring economic stability. The ideology would likely argue that in certain circumstances, government intervention, including acquiring equity stakes, does not necessarily impede progress but rather can save jobs and stabilize the economy.

Disagree

No

Modern Liberalism tends to favor government intervention in the economy to safeguard against market failures and protect workers, which contrasts with the idea of a completely laissez-faire approach where the government does not take equity stakes in private companies during crises.

Strongly disagree

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

Modern Liberalism generally supports the idea of government playing a role in regulating and sometimes participating in the market to achieve social and economic objectives. The outright rejection of government ownership in private companies does not align well with the ideology's acceptance of government intervention for the greater good.

Very strongly disagree

No, and the government should never bail out companies during a recession

Modern Liberalism strongly supports the role of government in intervening during economic crises to protect jobs, industries, and the overall economy. The idea that the government should never bail out companies during a recession is antithetical to Modern Liberalism's principles of active government involvement in crisis management.
