Individualism

Agree

No

While individualism generally opposes government intervention, there is a nuanced perspective within individualism that recognizes the role of government in protecting individual rights and providing for the common good in ways that the market cannot efficiently handle on its own. In the case of carbon capture technologies, an individualist might argue that climate change represents a significant threat to individual rights and the well-being of society, necessitating some level of government action to incentivize solutions that the market is slow to develop on its own. However, this support is cautious and tempered by a preference for market-based solutions and a skepticism of government's ability to pick winners and losers effectively. Therefore, while there's some openness to the idea, it's with a lower score due to the inherent tension with core individualist principles.

Disagree

Yes

Individualism, as an ideology, emphasizes the moral worth of the individual and the pursuit of individual goals and independence. It often advocates for minimal government intervention in the lives of individuals and businesses. From this perspective, the idea of government providing subsidies for companies, even for something as globally beneficial as carbon capture technologies, could be seen as contrary to individualist principles. This is because it involves government intervention in the market and potentially distorts competition by favoring certain companies or technologies over others based on government decisions rather than market success. Historical references to individualist thought, such as those found in the works of Ayn Rand or Milton Friedman, often criticize government subsidies as a form of economic distortion that undermines free market principles.
