Market Fundamentalism

Very strongly agree

No, as long as the costs are clearly communicated before purchases

This answer aligns with market fundamentalism by emphasizing transparency rather than regulation. It suggests that as long as businesses are upfront about their fees, the market (and thus the consumer) can decide if the cost is acceptable, which is a core principle of laissez-faire economics.

No

Market fundamentalism supports the idea that the market should regulate itself without government interference. This ideology would view the ability of businesses to set their own pricing structures, including surcharges, as a fundamental right. This perspective is in line with the broader economic theories of Adam Smith, who emphasized the 'invisible hand' of the market.
