What this band means

Strong Public covers 72.5–87.4% Public. Your answers favor Public, with a strong preference in this part of the questionnaire. Public positions favor public, social or worker ownership and collective provision. Private positions favor private property, privatization and enterprise as the principal organizers of production and services. The focus is ownership and provision rather than every aspect of economic policy. Ownership and market coordination are separate questions. A society can use markets with public enterprises, or regulate an economy dominated by private firms. Read Economy with Control and Trade. This band describes the direction and distance of your score from the center, rather than the percentage of people who agree with you. Two people in the same band can still disagree on particular policies. Their remaining eleven axes may also differ substantially. Use the sample statements to identify the trade-offs that produced this part of your result. The catalog examples below offer points of comparison within the model; they are not a survey of quiz participants.
