27) Free markets typically secure more economic prosperity than government’s centralized planning because:


You know the answers are just wishful thinking on the part of the obviously right-wing group running the quiz.

I don't think #25 is an example of a right-wing slant.

Basically, the quiz is looking for the definition of "capitalism."

27 is a bit more opinion-based, but the fact is that free market economies have historically been more prosperous than centrally-planned economies.

Just to say the kind of semi-socialism (aaaaargh! That word!) I'm for is the kind that assures necessities of life, such as medical care & basic housing to people. Micro-planning, mandating & trying to enforce an economy is, I agree, historically a bust. I'd like to see the free-enterprise bloom in fields where it can't actually kill people, is all.
