Economics and politics cheat sheets

These pages argue a position and show their data. The capitalism page is openly pro-market. The economic systems comparison puts mercantilism, capitalism, socialism and the modern hybrids side by side on ownership, prices and incentives so the differences are structural rather than rhetorical. The political labels page decodes classical liberal, liberal, libertarian, neoliberal, conservative and socialist by what each actually holds.

The data pages are there to replace impressions with numbers: red and blue state economies compared on GDP, income, prices, migration and taxes; US states matched against whole countries by nominal and PPP output; and the homelessness page, which follows rents rather than drugs or poverty and lists the housing rules that push rents up.

Every sheet here is produced by a governed Claude Code pipeline: a version-controlled spec as acceptance criteria, primary-source research, a self-verification gate, and a public git audit trail. Read how it is built or browse the source on GitHub.

The map draws itself with JavaScript, which is off. The grid below lists every sheet, and each sheet's detail view names its neighbours.
