Since we've been looking into historian philosophy... why not political. George Soros has one: he claims Karl Popper's. We've dealt with Popper's inductive reasoning; Soros more concerns the Open Society. There are those who think little of Soros. For now we'll start with that run on the Bank of England / "Sterling" he did, under PM John Major.
Dropping out of the Euro allowed Britain to get out from under the Thatcher / Major recession. Yes, that was $3G-1993 lost, from which Soros took $1G. Overall Britain bought, with that money, some prosperity. We can discuss how Major and his successors have handled that prosperity, some other time.
Opposed to Popper are the likes of Putin and Xi, and here Maduro and Ortega. Popper's most coherent proponent these days seems to be Richard Hanania.
Britain basically cannot run herself so requires that outside billionaires intervene to help. It is exactly Popper's Open-Society that saved the Brits under Major, and is attempting to save them under Starmer. If Brits find this "unsporting", they should elect a better King.
Soros' main fault, meanwhile, is that since his good work in Britain, he has failed Popper.
