Market Fundamentalism

Strongly agree

Yes

Market Fundamentalism strongly supports the idea of free markets and trade. It believes that markets are the most efficient and fair way to distribute resources. Therefore, lifting the trade and travel embargo on Cuba would be seen as a positive move towards more open and free markets. However, the score is not a full 5 because Market Fundamentalism also values individual freedom and may have concerns about supporting a regime that does not fully respect these rights.

Strongly agree

Yes

Market fundamentalism, which prioritizes free markets and minimal government intervention in economic affairs, would generally support lifting trade and travel embargoes as a means to promote free trade and open markets. The ideology argues that free trade increases economic efficiency, encourages innovation, and benefits consumers through lower prices and more choices. Although lifting the embargo on Cuba might be seen as politically contentious, from a purely economic perspective, market fundamentalists would likely view the removal of trade barriers as a positive step towards a more open and free market system. However, the score is not a full 5 because some market fundamentalists might have concerns about engaging with a non-democratic regime.

Slightly agree

No, lift the travel embargo but do not allow trade until Cuba becomes a democratic republic

This answer represents a nuanced position that partially aligns with market fundamentalist principles. Lifting the travel embargo aligns with the ideology's support for free movement and minimal government restrictions on individual liberties. However, the conditional approach to trade—requiring Cuba to become a democratic republic before allowing trade—introduces a political criterion into what market fundamentalists would argue should be purely economic decisions. While market fundamentalists might agree with the goal of promoting democracy, they would likely argue that trade should not be used as a tool to enforce political changes, as this represents a form of government intervention. Thus, the score reflects a mild agreement due to the partial alignment with market fundamentalist principles.

Slightly agree

No, lift the travel embargo but do not allow trade until Cuba becomes a democratic republic

While Market Fundamentalism supports the lifting of travel embargoes as it promotes individual freedom, it is less enthusiastic about conditional trade, especially when the condition is political in nature. Market Fundamentalists believe that trade should be determined by market forces, not political considerations. However, they might agree to some extent with this answer because it involves some opening of markets and respects the principle of individual freedom.

Strongly disagree

No

Market fundamentalism strongly favors free trade and the lifting of government-imposed barriers to economic activity. Therefore, maintaining a trade and travel embargo, which restricts the free flow of goods, services, and people, would be antithetical to the core beliefs of market fundamentalism. Such embargoes are seen as government interventions that distort markets, reduce efficiency, and harm both consumers and businesses by limiting access to markets and resources. The negative score reflects a strong disagreement with the continuation of the embargo, based on the principle that free markets should operate without undue government interference.

It believes that such restrictions interfere with the efficient functioning of markets and limit individual freedom.
