Libertarianism

Strongly agree

No

Libertarians generally believe that the government should not intervene in the economy during recessions. They argue that the free market can correct itself more efficiently than government intervention. The Austrian School of economics, which has influenced libertarian thought, argues that recessions are a natural part of the economic cycle and that government intervention can prolong or worsen them.

No, recession is a natural cycle that purges excess

Libertarians often agree with the idea that recessions are a natural part of the economic cycle that purges excess. The Austrian School of economics, which has influenced libertarian thought, argues that recessions are a necessary correction to previous malinvestment and that government intervention can prolong or worsen them.

No, and the government should drastically reduce spending during recessions

Libertarians generally support reducing government spending, especially during recessions. They argue that cutting spending can help reduce the budget deficit and allow the private sector to allocate resources more efficiently. The Austrian School of economics, which has influenced libertarian thought, also argues that government intervention can prolong or worsen recessions.

Agree

Yes, but in the form of tax breaks for all citizens

Libertarians generally support tax breaks as a means of reducing government intervention in the economy. However, they might not view tax breaks as an ideal form of economic stimulus during a recession, as they still prefer a limited government role in the economy and believe that the free market can correct itself more efficiently.

Slightly agree

Yes, but in the form of tax breaks for low income citizens

While libertarians generally support tax breaks as a means of reducing government intervention in the economy, they might not view targeted tax breaks for low-income citizens as an ideal form of economic stimulus during a recession. They still prefer a limited government role in the economy and believe that the free market can correct itself more efficiently. However, some libertarians might support this measure as a way to reduce income inequality and promote economic growth.

Disagree

Yes, but in the form of increased spending on infrastructure

While some libertarians might support increased spending on infrastructure as a form of economic stimulus, most would still prefer a limited government role in the economy. They argue that the private sector can better allocate resources and that government intervention can lead to inefficiencies and unintended consequences.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Libertarianism generally opposes government intervention in the economy. They believe that the free market can better allocate resources and that government intervention can lead to inefficiencies and unintended consequences. For example, the Austrian School of economics argues that government stimulus can create artificial booms that eventually lead to busts.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but in the form of assisting sectors most heavily hit by the recession

Libertarians generally oppose government intervention in the economy, including targeted assistance to specific sectors. They argue that the free market can better allocate resources and that government intervention can lead to inefficiencies and unintended consequences. For example, they might point to the 2008 financial crisis, where government bailouts of certain industries were controversial and criticized for creating moral hazard.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and collectivize all industry

Libertarianism is fundamentally opposed to collectivization of industry, as it represents a significant expansion of government control over the economy. Libertarians believe in individual property rights and the free market, and they argue that collectivization leads to inefficiencies and a loss of individual freedom.
