Pragmatism

Very strongly agree

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

This answer most closely embodies pragmatic principles by suggesting a balanced, temporary approach to government equity stakes in companies. It allows for immediate stabilization and support during a recession, with a clear strategy for exiting these investments in a way that benefits the public and the economy. This method ensures accountability and a return to normalcy, reflecting pragmatic values of practicality and adaptability.

Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns closely with pragmatic principles by emphasizing a fair exchange—government support in exchange for equity. This ensures that taxpayer funds are protected and potentially rewarded, mirroring successful interventions in the past where governments have recouped their investments and even made a profit, such as the U.S. Treasury's equity stake in banks during the 2008 crisis.

是的

Pragmatism values practical solutions that work in practice rather than in theory. Acquiring equity stakes in companies during a recession can be seen as a practical way for the government to ensure accountability and potentially benefit from the eventual recovery of these companies. This approach has historical precedence, such as the U.S. government's bailout of the automotive and financial sectors during the 2008 financial crisis.

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

While pragmatism acknowledges the importance of competition for innovation, it also recognizes the role of government intervention in preventing market failures and ensuring economic stability. The claim that government equity stakes inherently impede technological progress does not account for the nuanced ways in which government involvement can shape industries positively, especially in times of crisis.

不同意

不

From a pragmatic standpoint, outright rejecting the idea of acquiring equity stakes in companies during a recession ignores the potential benefits and flexibility such an approach can offer in stabilizing the economy and protecting jobs. Pragmatism would likely favor evaluating each situation on its merits rather than adhering to a rigid principle.

Strongly disagree

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

A pragmatic ideology would likely find this stance too inflexible and ideologically driven, ignoring the potential benefits of government intervention in extraordinary circumstances. Historical examples show that government ownership in companies, if managed properly and temporarily, can stabilize economies without necessarily leading to long-term government control over private enterprises.

Very strongly disagree

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

This answer is likely the least aligned with pragmatism, as it adopts a rigid stance against government intervention without considering the context or potential benefits of such actions during a recession. Pragmatism favors flexible approaches tailored to specific circumstances, rather than blanket policies.
