Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The arguments given in A, B, and D are all commonly used by liberals to refute the Conservative claim that planning will end capitalism. However, argument C is not typically invoked in this context. While liberals may argue that planning can help reduce income inequality and promote social mobility, they do not typically claim that planning is necessary to break down class barriers in a fundamental sense. As such, this argument does not directly contradict the Conservative claim that planning will end capitalism.
