Strongly agree

No

Classical liberalism supports free-market principles and minimal government intervention in the economy. This would generally lead to opposition to government subsidies for farmers, as they distort market signals and create inefficiencies. Classical liberals like Adam Smith and David Ricardo argued against agricultural subsidies and other forms of protectionism in their works.

Neutral

Yes, but only as a temporary measure to stabilise prices

This answer is somewhat neutral for classical liberalism. While the ideology generally opposes government intervention in the economy, some classical liberals may see temporary measures to stabilize prices as a necessary evil in certain situations.
