Keynesian Liberalism
Current inspired by John Maynard Keynes that accepts markets and liberal democracy but gives the state the task of managing demand, with countercyclical public spending, full employment as a goal and a mixed economy.
I want a liberal democracy with a mixed economy, where the state spends against downturns and pursues full employment without owning industry.Compare your own views

The profile in detail
Government and accountability. Structure: 36.2% Federal, 63.8% Unitary (Leaning Unitary); 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; Keynesian Liberalism sits 3.8 points above it. 124 reference profiles share this band.
Civil power and culture. Power: 36.2% Security, 63.8% Liberty (Leaning Liberty); Immigration: 37.5% Assimilation, 62.5% 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; Keynesian Liberalism sits 22.6 points below it. 151 reference profiles share this band.
Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 30% Militarist, 70% Pacifist (Leaning Pacifist); Intervention: 55% Non-interventionist, 45% 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; Keynesian Liberalism sits 6.2 points above it. 167 reference profiles share this band.
Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 61.3% Public, 38.7% Private (Leaning Public); Control: 67.5% Planning, 32.5% Free market (Leaning Planning); Trade: 38.8% Protectionism, 61.2% Globalism (Leaning Globalism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Keynesian Liberalism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Keynesian Liberalism sits 8.1 points above it. 166 reference profiles share this band.
Belief and social norms. Religion: 78.8% Irreligious, 21.2% Religious (Strong Irreligious); Morality: 68.8% Progressive, 31.2% Traditionalist (Leaning Progressive). 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; Keynesian Liberalism sits 30.0 points above it. 151 reference profiles share this band.
Technology and limits. Technology: 67.5% Technology, 32.5% Biology (Leaning Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Keynesian Liberalism, the 17.5-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Keynesian Liberalism sits 10.0 points above it. 299 reference profiles share this band.
