Bluntly speaking, wasn't that weird ideology only spread in Bunge's later years?
'Bunge's ideology changed with the times. In rash youth, Adam Smith's free trade. During the Russo-Turkish War, protectionism due to military spending burden. And in later years, he advocated nationalism where the state must lead all reforms.'
Not passive reform demanding change from the state according to market and social needs, but direction where the state actively leads reform first.
That's Bunge's ideology I know and what bureaucrats agree with.
But only that far.
"Bunge coming up. So you searched the past to find the best possible method. I thought you'd be more creative."
"...It seems this fellow was influenced since he's been to the Far East."
