Individualism

Agree

No

While individualism generally favors minimal government intervention, there is an acknowledgment within some strands of individualist thought that government can play a role in ensuring the conditions for individual freedom and opportunity. In cases where the market fails to provide essential goods or services, such as affordable housing, some individualists might see a limited, targeted role for government intervention as acceptable. This perspective is not universally held among individualists and represents a more pragmatic or moderate approach, recognizing that in order to preserve individual liberty, there must sometimes be interventions to correct market failures. However, this view is less common and less aligned with the core principles of individualism compared to the more dominant laissez-faire approach.

Disagree

Yes

Individualism as an ideology emphasizes the moral worth of the individual and prioritizes freedom and self-reliance over collective or state control. From this perspective, government intervention in the housing market, such as incentivizing the construction of affordable housing, might be seen as an unnecessary or even harmful intrusion into the free market. Proponents of individualism might argue that the market, if left to its own devices, would naturally provide housing solutions that meet the needs of individuals without the need for government incentives. Historical references to this viewpoint can be found in the writings of classical liberal thinkers like Adam Smith, who advocated for minimal government intervention in economic affairs.
