I'll fall on the side of 'What we have isn't free market capitalism'
Isn't spain still run by the socialist party? Hasn't France had some of the most burdensome regulations for business? As far as I know, this is the case. Why then do you think that these figures are a referendum on less capitalism?
As HS and Mafoo have said, the issue lies with how many governments have integrated capitalism into their system. Many want the free market as it provides a good system for increased productivity. However, they want the 'safety' of social programs to make sure certain voter blocs don't get ticked off (corporate or poor blocs)
I wish they would have asked countries in the top 5 for economic freedom how they felt about their system. Many of the countries' polled are pretty low on the Heritage index for economic freedom..
France - #64
Mexico - #49
Brazil - #105
Ukraine - #152
Yeah. Definately some free nations there. Those were the top 4 most dissatisfied nations. Methinks they need more freedom, not less. As others have said, it seems that the pollisters assume what countries have is actually freedom. Why didn't they ask Hong Kong about their economic system?
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
