Industrial Capitalism

Capitalism of the great industrialists such as Henry Ford, Rockefeller and Thomas Edison, exalting the factory, mass production, invention and the entrepreneur, with a work ethic, traditional family and minimal state interference.

I want a nation of factories, invention and work, with private property, free entrepreneurs and little state interference.

The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 63.7% Federal, 36.3% Unitary (Leaning Federal); Representation: 41.2% Democracy, 58.8% Autocracy (Leaning Autocracy). 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; Industrial Capitalism sits 16.3 points below it. 99 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 53.8% Security, 46.2% Liberty (Balanced); Immigration: 65% Assimilation, 35% Multiculturalism (Leaning Assimilation). 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; Industrial Capitalism sits 5.0 points below it. 128 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 35% Militarist, 65% Pacifist (Leaning Pacifist); Intervention: 50% Non-interventionist, 50% 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; Industrial Capitalism sits 1.2 points above it. 167 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 7.5% Public, 92.5% Private (Very strong Private); Control: 18.8% Planning, 81.2% Free market (Strong Free market); Trade: 63.7% Protectionism, 36.3% Globalism (Leaning Protectionism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Industrial Capitalism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Industrial Capitalism sits 45.7 points below it. 36 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 37.5% Irreligious, 62.5% Religious (Leaning Religious); Morality: 16.2% Progressive, 83.8% Traditionalist (Strong Traditionalist). 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; Industrial Capitalism sits 22.6 points below it. 182 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 75% Technology, 25% Biology (Strong Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Industrial Capitalism, the 25.0-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Industrial Capitalism sits 17.5 points above it. 132 reference profiles share this band.
