Protectionism

Strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if the protocol was created and secured by a government agency instead of a decentralised protocol

This answer aligns closely with protectionist ideals by advocating for government control and oversight of critical infrastructure, including financial systems. It suggests a balance between innovation and national security, ensuring that the government can protect domestic interests.

Agree

No

Protectionists might prefer maintaining a centralized financial system that can be regulated and controlled at the national level, ensuring that domestic interests are prioritized and protected from global market fluctuations and foreign influence.

Agree

No, and I don’t understand the concept of decentralised finance

While not directly related to protectionism, skepticism or lack of understanding about decentralized finance aligns with a cautious approach to radical changes in national financial systems, which protectionists might favor to avoid potential risks to economic security.

Disagree

Yes, but only if it’s truly decentralised and cannot be manipulated by any person, group, or government agency

While protectionists might appreciate the idea of a system that cannot be manipulated by foreign entities, the emphasis on true decentralization could reduce the ability of the national government to exert control and protect domestic interests, which is a core tenet of protectionism.

Disagree

Yes

Protectionism generally favors national control over key industries, including finance, to protect domestic jobs and industries from foreign competition. A completely decentralized financial system could undermine national control and regulatory oversight, conflicting with protectionist policies.

Strongly disagree

Yes, this would reduce wealth inequality by providing more transparent, affordable, and inclusive access to financial services

Protectionism often involves measures that can inadvertently maintain or increase wealth inequality, such as tariffs and quotas that protect domestic industries but can raise prices for consumers. A focus on reducing wealth inequality through decentralization may conflict with protectionist strategies that prioritize national economic security and domestic job protection over global equity.
