I wonder how popular is my theory that competitive economic prosperity in modern times is almost always typical in liberal regimes, and is almost an impossibility in populist regimes. Successful conquests could possibly constitute an exception with respect to the latter.

What do you mean by "competitive economic prosperity"?

I mean by "competitive economic prosperity" the ability of a national economy to endure multiple successive economical challenges of modernity as well as other nations.

Such challenges include the changes in labor costs, evolution of supply chains, emergence of new types of value etc.

I hypothesize that adapting to such challenges is misaligned with a populist value system.

I would like to see what a "populist value system" looks like.
