It depends what specific society we are dealing with. For the US I personally advocate a regulated (significantly more so than our current system) Capitalist economy and for government a representative Democracy with significantly more socialized programs such as universal single payer healthcare, education including significant state subsidies for college, social security, etc.. The money for such programs coming from tax rates being rolled back to the 70% rate for the rich on salaries past a million dollars as it was during the eras of our nation's greatest prosperity. Socially I am liberal, with values emphasizing equality and social justice and protecting personal safety and liberty with rights extending to animals as well as humans.
