"Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a new BBC World
Service global poll finds that dissatisfaction with free market
capitalism is widespread, with an average of only 11% across 27
countries saying that it works well and that greater regulation is not
a good idea.
In only two countries do more than one in five feel that capitalism
works well as it stands—the US (25%) and Pakistan (21%).
The most common view is that free market capitalism has problems that
can be addressed through regulation and reform—a view held by an
average of 51% of more than 29,000 people polled by GlobeScan/PIPA.
An average of 23% feel that capitalism is fatally flawed, and a new
economic system is needed—including 43% in France, 38% in Mexico, 35%
in Brazil and 31% in Ukraine."
