Argentina · 1946–55, 1973–74
Juan Perón
Labor populist. Industrial wages and social programs under a personalist, often authoritarian, movement.
Juan Perón is on the world-leaders chart for Argentina, 1946–55, 1973–74. The placement note, from the public governing record, is: Labor populist. Industrial wages and social programs under a personalist, often authoritarian, movement.
The dot is economics -18 and authority +56, on a scale from −100 to +100. That is left of center 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: A third position: labor, the nation, and neither Yankee capital nor Moscow. Done: Wages and welfare rose, then inflation and censorship. Exile followed. 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 Sukarno (Indonesia, -30 / +52) and Simón Bolívar (Gran Colombia, -4 / +42). 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.
