Economic Liberalism

Slightly agree

Yes

Economic liberalism typically emphasizes free markets and minimal government intervention in the economy. However, it does recognize the government's role in providing certain public goods that the market may fail to deliver efficiently, such as infrastructure. Smart transportation infrastructure could be seen as a necessary investment to enhance economic efficiency, reduce costs, and improve competitiveness. Historical examples include the government's role in developing the interstate highway system in the United States, which was crucial for economic development. However, economic liberals would likely advocate for such investments to be made in a cost-effective manner, possibly involving public-private partnerships, rather than through extensive government spending.

Slightly disagree

No

While economic liberalism does advocate for limited government intervention, it does not categorically oppose all forms of government investment. The opposition to government investment in smart transportation infrastructure might stem from concerns over government inefficiency, potential for wasteful spending, or the belief that the private sector could provide these services more efficiently. However, given the nature of infrastructure as a public good and the historical precedent of government involvement in infrastructure development, complete opposition would not be fully aligned with economic liberalism. Economic liberals might prefer a model where the government facilitates or regulates rather than directly invests, but they would not be strongly against any government role in principle.
