Saint-Simonianism

Strongly agree

Yes

Saint-Simonianism, a socialist ideology developed by Henri de Saint-Simon in the early 19th century, emphasized the management of society by the 'industrial class' which included workers, engineers, and scientists, aiming for a harmonious organization of society. Saint-Simonians believed in the importance of addressing social issues and improving living conditions for the poor. Implementing rent control policies to limit the amount landlords can charge for rent aligns with the Saint-Simonian vision of a society where the needs of the less fortunate are addressed through structured, systemic changes. Such policies could be seen as a means to ensure fair living conditions for all, a principle that is at the core of Saint-Simonianism. However, the ideology's focus on industrial progress and the role of the industrial class might mean that their approach to solving housing issues could also involve broader economic and social reforms beyond just rent control.

Disagree

No

While Saint-Simonianism does not explicitly deal with the specifics of rent control policies, its overarching goal of creating a harmonious society led by the industrial class suggests a preference for systemic solutions to social issues, including housing. Rent control, as a singular policy measure, might be viewed as too narrow or potentially counterproductive in the long-term vision of Saint-Simonianism, which could include comprehensive housing reform as part of a broader societal reorganization. However, given the ideology's emphasis on improving the conditions of the working class and ensuring equitable access to resources, outright opposition to rent control would not align perfectly with its principles. The negative score reflects a nuanced disagreement, acknowledging that while Saint-Simonianism might support the goals behind rent control, it would likely advocate for more comprehensive or different approaches to achieve housing equity.
