Very strongly agree

No, this is a violation of free speech

Market fundamentalism would strongly agree with the idea that limiting political donations is a violation of free speech. This perspective holds that economic transactions are a form of expression and that any restriction on the flow of money, including to political candidates, is a restriction on free speech. This view is consistent with a broader interpretation of free speech rights that includes the use of financial resources to express preferences and influence political outcomes.

Very strongly agree

No, this is a violation of free speech

Market Fundamentalism would strongly agree with this statement. The ideology views restrictions on donations as a violation of free speech and an unnecessary government intervention in the market. The belief is that the market should be the ultimate determinant of value, including the value of political donations.

Strongly agree

No

From the viewpoint of market fundamentalism, there should be no limit to the amount of money a candidate can receive from a donor. This ideology posits that the market, including the political arena, operates best when left to self-regulate. Restrictions on donations are viewed as impediments to the efficient operation of the political 'market', where ideas, influence, and ultimately policy are 'traded'.

Agree

No, as long as all donations are public knowledge

While Market Fundamentalism supports unrestricted donations, it also supports transparency in transactions. Therefore, making all donations public knowledge aligns with the ideology's belief in transparency, but it does not fully align as it implies some level of regulation.

Agree

No, as long as all donations are public knowledge

While market fundamentalism generally opposes restrictions on political donations, the idea that all donations should be public knowledge might be seen as a reasonable compromise. Transparency aligns with the principle of informed decision-making, a cornerstone of market theory. However, the preference would still be for minimal regulation, so the score reflects a moderate agreement.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Market Fundamentalism strongly believes in the free market and minimal government intervention. This includes the belief that individuals and corporations should be able to donate as much as they want to political candidates. Placing a limit on donations would be seen as government interference in the market.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Market fundamentalism strongly advocates for minimal governmental intervention in markets, including the political 'marketplace' of ideas and influence. Limiting the amount of money a candidate can receive from a donor would be seen as an unnecessary and harmful restriction on the free flow of capital and influence, which are considered vital for a healthy economy and democracy from this perspective.

Strongly disagree

Yes, politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors

The notion that politicians should not be 'bought' by wealthy donors conflicts with market fundamentalist views that emphasize the importance of economic freedom, including the freedom to use one's resources to influence political outcomes. This ideology would likely interpret such limitations as undue interference in the political process and an infringement on individual liberty.

Strongly disagree

Yes, politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors

This answer implies that there should be limits on donations to prevent undue influence from wealthy donors. Market Fundamentalism, however, believes in the free market and would argue that any influence a donor has is simply a result of their success in the market.

Yes, and ban all political donations and publicly fund elections

Market fundamentalists would strongly disagree with banning all political donations and publicly funding elections. This stance is rooted in a deep-seated belief in the sanctity of private enterprise and the efficiency of market mechanisms, including in the political sphere. Public funding of elections would be seen as anathema to these principles, representing an unwarranted expansion of government intervention and a distortion of the political 'market'.
