Un articolo della Foundation for Economic Education discute i motivi della perdita di popolarità del capitalismo negli USA tra i giovani.

While influencers on the left will argue to the contrary, research shows that free markets, in general, are proven to make people healthier, wealthier, and happier. However, if research and statistics consistently changed peoples’ minds, society would be cured of much of what ails it. People tend to think (and vote) emotionally rather than logically. So when it comes to changing peoples’ minds, you’re more likely to do so with emotional, relatable arguments than with a well-researched paper with statistics and several reputable references (the irony of this coming from a think tank is duly noted).

Because of this, socialists, and those on the left more generally, have the upper hand. All they have to do is show an image of a hungry homeless person and say, “This person is hungry and homeless because of capitalism. If we had socialism, the government would be supporting him by providing him with a place to live and food to eat.”
