You believe that a free market economy promotes individual freedom, innovation, and wealth creation for all.
Capitalism is a political and economic ideology characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, investments determined by private decision, and prices, production, and the distribution of goods determined mainly by competition in a free market. It is a system in which the means of production are privately owned and operated for profit.

Do you feel that the wealth created by capitalism benefits society as a whole or just a select few?
@9QDTFHV3wks3W
no. Trickle down doesn't work. Wages don't go up in accordance to cost of living.
@9QDM24W3wks3W
It can create competitive businesses and can in fact help economically while also providing more product to the public. However it does benefit the higher wage percentage of people in terms of wealth.
@9Q8KKGB3wks3W
I think it benefits society but much more needs to be done to raise opportunities, education and safely for wvery citizen to thrive.
@9Q6T5K94wks4W
Wealth created is fantastic but unfortunately many of the elite are greedy and prioritise profit over larger social concerns

If you had the power, would you make any changes to the current capitalist system, and what would they be?
@9H7JG2F8mos8MO
Tax the richest companies and people in society, nationalise NHS/public transport/energy/internet/education.
@9HB7BH28mos8MO
Get rid of loopholes that allow corporations to avoid tax while still being a viable place for businesses ro operate from
@9HBGW428mos8MO
The capitalist system as a whole if fine. The problem is where our taxes are going. Fund schools, encourage kids to strive to be rich. But also remove tax loopholes
I would nationalise several public utilities, e.g. transport, energy and use capitalism to generate money for the people.

Can capitalism truly provide freedom of choice for consumers, or does it end up creating illusions of choice with big companies dominating markets?
@9H7JXCMLiberal Democrat8mos8MO
The job of a government in a capitalist society is to keep the markets health to stop the monopoly of big business.
@9H8QN8S8mos8MO
Big companies are run by a certain kind of people that follow a certain religion, and they fabricate everything. More consoomerism = more power to Jews.
@9H977PT8mos8MO
I think capitalism should stay but everyone one should have the chance to start in capitalism and not be squashed by large corporations.
@9H6LW9B8mos8MO
No I believe in capitalism and that competition in companies and markets creates better ideas and creates more jobs for everyone in the long run.

Do you consider access to healthcare and education a privilege or a right in a capitalist system?
@9J3WZBF6mos6MO
access to healthcare and education should definitely be a right
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
Reflect on how media and advertising influence your purchase decisions and what this suggests about consumer culture within capitalism.

How does your current educational path prepare you for a capitalist economy, and do you feel equipped to navigate it?
@9HPRQ357mos7MO
My educational path, which includes a PhD, has taught me the importance of balance and understanding all sides of an argument. Unregulated capitalism is as dangerous as any other unmoderated ideology or principle. Enabling the unfettered accumulation of capital inevitably results in a minority holding the majority of capital at the expense of the majority from whom that capital has been extracted.
