A Harvard University survey found that among adults between 18 and 29 years of age, 51 percent “do not support capitalism.” 42 support it, reports The Washington Post. A third say they support socialism as an alternative.
The survey is “difficult to interpret” due to the simplicity of choices and their lack of definition, say pollsters.
Capitalism can mean different things to different people, and the newest generation of voters is frustrated with the status quo, broadly speaking. All the same, that a majority of respondents in Harvard University’s survey of young adults said they do not support capitalism suggests that today’s youngest voters are more focused on the flaws of free markets.
