Who Will Build the Roads?

Take ten political systems — from communism to capitalism — and ask them all the same questions: Who educates the kids? Who takes care of grandma? And who builds the roads?

• Each system gets the same stress test against problems people actually face
• Plot them on a grid of individual vs. collective, authoritarian vs. voluntary, and patterns emerge fast
• How a system answers “who builds the roads?” tells you everything about what it really values

This isn’t about roads. It’s about watching each philosophy try to answer the hard questions — and figuring out what you actually believe.
