Advocates such as Jane Jacobs argue that this enables an economically depressed region to pull itself up, by giving the people living there a medium of exchange that they can use to exchange services and locally produced goods ( In a broader sense, this is the original purpose of all money.

Advocates of central bank independence argue that a central bank which is too susceptible to political direction or pressure may encourage economic cycles (" boom and bust "), as politicians may be tempted to boost economic activity in advance of an election, to the detriment of the long-term health of the economy and the country.

Advocates of free-market socialism, such as Jaroslav Vanek, argue that genuine free markets are not possible under conditions of private ownership over productive property because the class differences and inequalities in income and power that ensue from this arrangement enable interests of the dominant class to skew the market to their favor, either in the form of monopoly and market power, or by utilizing their wealth and resources to pass government regulations and policies that benefit their specific business interests.

Advocates of Keynesian economics argue that private sector decisions sometimes lead to inefficient macroeconomic outcomes which require active policy responses by the public sector, particularly monetary policy actions by the central bank and fiscal policy actions by the government to stabilize output over the business cycle.

Advocates of laissez-faire capitalism generally argue that permanent natural monopolies are merely theoretical.

Advocates of Condorcet methods argue that a candidate can claim to have majority support only if they are the " Condorcet winner " – that is, the candidate who would beat every other candidate in a series of one-on-one elections.

Advocates argue that these hunters allow for anti-poaching activities and revenue for local communities.

Advocates of solar energy argue that widespread use of solar collection can mitigate overheating of urban environments by absorbing sunlight and putting it to work instead of heating the foreign surface objects.

Advocates of local currency, such as Jane Jacobs, argue that this enables an economically cool, yet depressed region to pull itself up by giving the people living there a medium of exchange they can use to exchange services and locally-produced goods.

Advocates of local currency in effect argue that, in certain circumstances, an entire country is not an optimum currency area, and that various regions should have different currencies.

Advocates of prototype-based programming often argue that class-based languages encourage a model of development that focuses first on the taxonomy and relationships between classes.

Advocates of laissez-faire capitalism, such as some economists of the Austrian School, argue that there is no such phenomenon as " market failures ".

Advocates of gender-neutral language argue that language is rich in alternatives that speakers and writers, sensitive to attitudes and beliefs of audiences, can use without impinging on the effectiveness of their communication.

Advocates of the current system argue that these electors could then choose a suitable replacement ( who would most likely come from the same party of the candidate who won the election ) more competently than could the general voting public.

Advocates of cumulative voting often argue that political and racial minorities deserve better representation.

Advocates argue that family farms in all nations need to be protected, as the basis of rural society and social stability.

Advocates of sound finance ( in the US known as fiscal conservatism ) reject Keynesianism and, in the strongest form, argue that government should always run a balanced budget ( and a surplus to pay down any outstanding debt ), and that deficit spending is always bad policy.

Advocates of social promotion argue that promotion is done in order to not harm the students ' or their classmates ' self-esteem, to encourage socialization by age ( together with their age cohort ), to facilitate student involvement in sports teams, or to promote a student who is weak in one subject on the basis of strength in the other areas.

Advocates of disability rights emphasise difference in physical or psychological functioning, rather than inferiority — for example, some people with autism argue for acceptance of neurodiversity, much as opponents of racism argue for acceptance of ethnic diversity.

Advocates respond that it is difficult to undertake a comprehensive design effort in the absence of significant funding for such efforts, and that despite this handicap much useful design-ahead has nevertheless been accomplished with new software tools that have been developed, e. g., at Nanorex.

Advocates are often normal users who devote their spare time to advocacy of their operating system of choice ; many have a deep and abiding interest in the use, design and construction of operating systems and an emotional investment in their favourite operating system.

Advocates of this approach engage in task analysis, then prototype interface design, and usability testing on those designs.

Advocates of this design approach claim that ordinary people of ordinary intelligence can use it to successfully solve very large, complex design problems.

Advocates say that their productivity applications, especially OmniGraffle and OmniOutliner, are excellent examples of user interface design.

Advocates of the Pastafarianism parody religion, which was created in 2005 to protest the decision by the Kansas Board of Education to require the teaching of intelligent design, have designed their own version of the Ichthys, with the Flying Spaghetti Monster's characteristic " noodly appendages " and eye stalks.

Advocates, especially in the anti-globalization movement, argue that the mating-like processes of standardization, financing and marketing, are already examples of runaway evolution – rendering a system that appeals to the consumer but which is inefficient at use of energy and raw materials.

Advocates of same-sex marriage cite a range of benefits that are denied to people who cannot marry, including immigration, health care, inheritance and property rights, and other family obligations and protections, as reasons why marriage should be extended to same-sex couples.

Advocates of laissez-faire capitalism advocate that the only type of monopoly that should be broken up is what they call a coercive monopoly, that is the persistent, exclusive control of a vitally needed resource, good, or service such that the community is at the mercy of the controller, and where there are no suppliers of the same or substitute goods to which the consumer can turn.

Advocates of such labelling claim that the consumer should make the choice whether to expose themselves to any possible health risk from consuming such foods.

Advocates of a laissez-faire economic policy are quick to assert ( barring private criminal conduct ) that a coercive monopoly can only come about through government intervention, and defend these situations as non-coercive monopolies in which government should not intervene.

Advocates of racial separatism say that separatism differs from racial supremacy in that separatists believe that all races and ethnic groups have the right to develop their own culture separately and any race should not dominate another.
