Capitalism
Economic system based on private property, free markets, and the pursuit of profit, in which production and prices are regulated by competition and supply and demand, with individual initiative as its engine.
I want a society driven by individual initiative, where competition and the free market, not the state, decide prices, production and profit.Compare your own views

The profile in detail
Government and accountability. Structure: 68.8% Federal, 31.2% Unitary (Leaning Federal); Representation: 61.3% Democracy, 38.7% Autocracy (Leaning Democracy). This combination separates where authority is located from how leaders are selected and constrained. It preserves those two choices even when a broad political label does not distinguish them. On Representation, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Democracy; Capitalism sits 3.8 points above it. 124 reference profiles share this band.
Civil power and culture. Power: 35% Security, 65% Liberty (Leaning Liberty); Immigration: 33.8% Assimilation, 66.2% Multiculturalism (Leaning Multiculturalism). The first contrast concerns limits on civil life; the second concerns cultural adaptation and plural identities. Reading them together avoids inferring an immigration position solely from a preference about security. On Power, the 877-profile catalog median is 58.8% Security; Capitalism sits 23.8 points below it. 151 reference profiles share this band.
Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 40% Militarist, 60% Pacifist (Leaning Pacifist); Intervention: 46.2% Non-interventionist, 53.8% Nationalist (Balanced). Military capacity and projection of national interests are distinct choices in this model. These coordinates show how the profile combines military means and external objectives, without assuming that they always move together. On Intervention, the 877-profile catalog median is 48.8% Non-interventionist; Capitalism sits 2.6 points below it. 167 reference profiles share this band.
Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 18.8% Public, 81.2% Private (Strong Private); Control: 18.8% Planning, 81.2% Free market (Strong Free market); Trade: 18.8% Protectionism, 81.2% Globalism (Strong Globalism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Capitalism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Capitalism sits 34.4 points below it. 74 reference profiles share this band.
Belief and social norms. Religion: 72.5% Irreligious, 27.5% Religious (Strong Irreligious); Morality: 47.5% Progressive, 52.5% Traditionalist (Balanced). The model keeps religious influence separate from continuity in social norms. These values describe the reference profile; they do not assign a religion to someone who receives this match in the quiz. On Morality, the 877-profile catalog median is 38.8% Progressive; Capitalism sits 8.7 points above it. 107 reference profiles share this band.
Technology and limits. Technology: 78.8% Technology, 21.2% Biology (Strong Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Capitalism, the 28.8-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Capitalism sits 21.3 points above it. 132 reference profiles share this band.
