Founding Father of the People’s Republic of China & Chairman of the CPC
On JudgeMarket, Mao Zedong trades in a wide range that few figures on the platform can match — the market cannot reach consensus, and that shows in the chart. The bull case prices in founding the People's Republic, ending a century of foreign intervention, and reshaping the largest country on earth — a once-in-a-civilization catalyst. The bear case is equally structural: tens of millions dead in the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution's institutional destruction, and a personality cult the system is still unwinding. Compared to Deng Xiaoping, who trades higher on cleaner legacy and reform multiplier, Mao carries more revolution premium but heavier moral discount. Xi Jinping inherits his institutional scaffolding and prices as a continuation bet. Karl Marx sits as the ideological origin, below Mao on operational impact. Volatility is high: Mao is the archetypal contested asset.
