Democratic capitalism (capitalism + democracy) alongside a strong and efficient social welfare system is what I personally adhere to.

pretty much the same but very heavily regulated capitalism. This capitalism should not have private land ownership. It should be recognized that the borders of the country are protected by the state and folks are essentially renting it. It should do long term contracts to encourage investment. The state should be involved with anything that all people need. food, housing, utilities, education, healthcare. They don't need to be the only option but they should provide the minimum needed to everyone to live a healthy life. Excess and things people don't need can be done by the free market provided there is enough competition. If there is not adequate competition then the state either provides its own option or regulate prices for whatever it is. Also very important that rights are only for physically existing citizens. No rights for corporations or any other logical entities with no physical existence. Taxes should be paid by all in a progressive manner and should be changed if its found individuals or entities are manipulating the rules to not pay them. This should theoretically keep anything from being to big to fail. Lastly tarrifs should be applied based on a metric for how democratic and free and equitable other societies are. If there is small wealth disparity and its a full democracy where people are largely free to do what they want. No tarrifs. non democracies with no freedom and massive wealth disaparity. high tarrifs.
