Consumerism ‎

Agree

No

While consumerism primarily focuses on the consumption of goods and the belief in the benefits of free market competition and choice, there is an argument to be made that in the context of housing, ensuring affordability through rent control could indirectly support consumer spending by leaving individuals with more disposable income to spend on goods and services. However, this perspective is somewhat tangential to the core principles of consumerism, which typically does not advocate for direct market interventions such as rent control. The score reflects this nuanced position, recognizing that while there is a potential indirect benefit to consumer spending, it does not align directly with the ideology's emphasis on market freedom and competition.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Consumerism as an ideology prioritizes the growth of consumption and the belief that it is beneficial for consumers to have a wide array of choices and competitive prices driven by market forces. Rent control policies, by artificially limiting the amount landlords can charge for rent, interfere with free market principles by imposing restrictions on what can be charged for housing. This could be seen as antithetical to consumerism, which generally supports minimal government intervention in markets to allow for competition and innovation. Historically, consumerism has thrived in environments where market forces are allowed to operate with relative freedom, suggesting a preference for less regulation rather than more.
