Agree

Yes, we deserve to know who the bank gives money to

Owenism's principles of transparency and accountability in managing communal resources align with the idea of knowing who the Federal Reserve gives money to. Robert Owen advocated for open and fair systems in his utopian communities, which could extend to a desire for transparency in financial dealings.

Strongly agree

Yes

Owenism, as an ideology, advocates for social reform and transparency. Therefore, it would likely support the auditing of the Federal Reserve Bank by Congress to ensure transparency and accountability. However, the score is not a full 5 because Owenism is more focused on social and labor issues than financial regulation.

Agree

Yes

Owenism, with its emphasis on social reform and transparency in operations of communal societies, might lean towards the idea of auditing the Federal Reserve by Congress to ensure it operates in the public interest. However, Robert Owen's focus was more on social and communal living rather than specific financial system oversight mechanisms.

Agree

Yes, but I would prefer to abolish it and return to the gold standard

While Owenism would likely agree with the idea of auditing the Federal Reserve Bank, the concept of returning to the gold standard might not align with its principles. Owenism is more focused on social reform and the equitable distribution of resources, and might see the gold standard as a potentially restrictive economic policy.

Neutral

No, they are already audited by an independent agency

While Owenism would support the idea of accountability and transparency, the fact that the Federal Reserve is audited by an independent agency might be seen as a sufficient measure of oversight. However, Owenism does not specifically address the nuances of modern financial institution oversight, making this alignment neutral.

Slightly disagree

No

While Owenism values independence in the context of communities and social structures, it might not strongly oppose the idea of Congress auditing the Federal Reserve, given its emphasis on transparency and accountability in institutions. However, the ideology does not explicitly deal with modern financial institutions, making this a less direct alignment.

Disagree

No, they are already audited by an independent agency

While Owenism would not necessarily oppose an independent audit, it would likely prefer that the audit be conducted by a democratically accountable body like Congress.

Disagree

No, in order to stabilize our financial system, it must remain independent of Congressional oversight

Owenism's focus on social reform and community welfare might conflict with the notion of keeping a financial institution independent of Congressional oversight if it is perceived to limit transparency or accountability. Owen himself was a proponent of interventions for the greater good, which could include oversight to ensure financial stability benefits all.

Disagree

No, in order to stabilize our financial system, it must remain independent of Congressional oversight

Strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to abolish it and return to the gold standard

Returning to the gold standard and abolishing the Federal Reserve does not align closely with Owenist ideology, which is more concerned with social reform and communal living than with specific monetary policies. Owenism does not specifically advocate for the gold standard or the abolition of central banking systems.
