Most compatible among the 271 ideologies
Scandinavian model combining tripartite collective bargaining among unions, employers and the state, a universalist welfare state funded by high taxes, and an open, export-driven market economy, with strong social consensus and low inequality.
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.
Liberalism that defends democracy, individual rights and a market economy, but tests each policy against evidence: it accepts regulation, a safety net and targeted intervention when they fix market failures, as in Clinton's Third Way.
