Very strongly agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

This answer aligns closely with the interventionist ideology, which advocates for strong government actions to regulate or correct market practices that are perceived as harmful to the economy or society at large. The preference for banning stock buybacks outright reflects a belief in decisive government intervention to prevent practices that might prioritize short-term shareholder gains over long-term corporate health and societal welfare.

Strongly agree

Yes

Economic interventionism supports the idea of government intervention in the economy for the purpose of correcting market failures and promoting the general welfare. Taxing stock buybacks could be seen as a way to discourage companies from using their profits to buy back their own stock, and instead encourage them to invest in their workers, research and development, or other productive uses. This aligns with the goals of economic interventionism.

Yes

Economic interventionism supports the idea that the government should play a significant role in the economy to correct market failures and promote social welfare. Taxing stock buybacks could be seen as a way to discourage a practice that some believe prioritizes shareholder value over reinvestment in the company and its employees. This aligns with interventionist policies that seek to balance economic activities for broader societal benefits.

Disagree

No, the biggest beneficiary of stock buybacks are pension funds and mutual funds

Economic interventionism recognizes the importance of pension funds and mutual funds in the economy but also stresses the need for corporate practices to benefit a wide range of stakeholders, including employees and communities, not just investors. This answer highlights a positive aspect of stock buybacks but does not address potential concerns about corporate priorities and economic inequality, which are key issues for interventionists.

Disagree

No, the biggest beneficiary of stock buybacks are pension funds and mutual funds

While it's true that pension funds and mutual funds may benefit from stock buybacks, economic interventionism is more concerned with the overall health of the economy and the welfare of all citizens, not just those who own stocks. Therefore, this argument would likely not sway proponents of economic interventionism.

Disagree

No, there is no evidence that firms that engage in buybacks reduce their investments

While economic interventionists are concerned with ensuring that companies invest in their growth and workforce, they might be skeptical of arguments that dismiss the potential negative impacts of stock buybacks without considering broader economic data and context. This stance might be seen as too dismissive of potential issues without a thorough analysis, which is not in line with the interventionist approach of informed and targeted government action.

Economic interventionism generally favors using government policy to influence economic outcomes for the public good. Opposing taxation on stock buybacks might be seen as a laissez-faire approach, which is typically contrary to interventionist principles. However, interventionists might argue against such taxes if they believed the taxes would not effectively address underlying economic issues or could lead to negative unintended consequences.
