Germany · 1871–1890
Otto von Bismarck
Unified Germany from above. Pioneered state social insurance to undercut the socialists.
Otto von Bismarck is on the world-leaders chart for Germany, 1871–1890. The placement note, from the public governing record, is: Unified Germany from above. Pioneered state social insurance to undercut the socialists.
The dot is economics +12 and authority +54, on a scale from −100 to +100. That is near the middle on economics. The other axis sits toward authority. Left means a larger public role. Up means more authority. Neither direction is treated as the correct one.
A second note separates what was said in public from what the government then did. Said: Unity under the Prussian crown, not under a parliament of liberals. Done: Unified Germany by war, then invented state pensions to cut the socialists off. The gap, when there is one, is part of the placement. A promise that was kept and a promise that was dropped are not given the same weight.
The nearest other figures on these two numbers are Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (Turkey, +12 / +48) and Charles de Gaulle (France, +16 / +44). Nearest means nearest on the chart, not alike in character.
Two governments can share a number and share nothing else. The source is the public governing record, not a news write-up and not a campaign advertisement.
