Very strongly agree

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

This perfectly matches the Keynesian view of the government as a temporary stabilizer. It allows for necessary intervention to prevent collapse while ensuring the state eventually returns industry control to the market once stability is achieved.

Strongly agree

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

This aligns with the principle of fiscal responsibility within interventionist policy, ensuring that the state is compensated for the liquidity and stability it provides to the private sector during a crisis.

Disagree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

Strongly disagree

Very strongly disagree

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

Refusing to bail out companies during a recession is the antithesis of Keynesian counter-cyclical policy, which seeks to prevent the 'liquidationist' outcomes associated with the Great Depression.
