The spirits of capitalism and socialism - A cross-country study of ideology

Christian Bjørnskov, Aarhus University, Denmark

Martin Paldam, Aarhus University, Denmark

Abstract: The World Values Survey contains an item on ownership, which is polled 200 times in 92 countries at the four waves of 1990, 1995, 2000 and 2005. These polls are developed into the CS-score that measures the aggregate mass support for capitalism and socialism. Four hypotheses are advanced and tested to explain the wide variation in the 200 CS-scores: (F1) It is partly due to the cross-country distribution of income, and consequently the West stands out as the most capitalist-minded area of the world. (F2) It is associated with the institutions of the country such as legal quality. (F3) It is related to the left-right dimension in politics. (F4) It is influenced by cultural differences.
