- Is conservatism compatible with capitalism?
- NO
- Capitalism is often described as economic liberalism - it is focused on individuals rather than the communities that conservatism champions.
- Capitalism creates economic and social divisions that threaten 'one nation'.
- Capitalism is dynamic and volatile, threatening the stability and continuity conservatives crave.
- Capitalism tends towards globalisation, undermining the national identity conservatives value.
- Capitalism promotes a meritocracy that challenges hereditary ruling class.
- YES
- Capitalism is based on private property, which historically conservatives support.
- Capitalism generates inequality, which conservatives defend as 'natural' and 'organic'.
- Capitalism has been at the heart of economic activity for several centuries and therefore squares with conservatism's support for tradition.
- Capitalism provides the ruling class with wealth that can then be used for paternalistic support for the less fortunate.
- New Right conservatism is keen to extend private property and market forces in the name of greater individual freedom.
- NO
