He advocated the use of market pricing tools in the socialist system and proposed the model of market socialism. Responding to the problems of economic calculation posed by Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, he argued that managers in a planned economy would be able to monitor supply and demand through increases and decreases in inventories of goods, and argued for the nationalization of major industries. While in the United States, Lange worked as a teacher and researcher in mathematical economics. Later in the Polish People's Republic he became a member of the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party.

George Orson Welles (May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985) was an American director, actor, screenwriter, producer, and magician widely acclaimed for his groundbreaking works in film, radio, and theater. He is recognized as the founder of modern film audio-visual language and one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in film history. At the age of 21, Welles directed a series of influential stage plays for the Federal Theater Project, including 1936's Voodoo Macbeth and 1937's The Storm. He co-founded the repertory theater Mercury Theater with John Houseman, which produced several plays on Broadway from 1937 to 1941, including a play with strong political overtones, "Caesar." In 1938, his radio anthology program "Mercury Theater in the Sky" provided an opportunity for him to enter the international stage. In the show, he used his status as director and commentator to adapt H.G. Wells's novel "Star Wars", making some listeners mistakenly believe that the earth was really invaded by Martians. This incident catapulted Wells, who was only 23 years old at the time, to fame. Welles's first feature film was "Citizen Kane", in which he served as screenwriter, producer, and director, and also starred as the protagonist Charles Foster Kane. The film has always been regarded as one of the greatest works in film history. Film critic Cecilia Egger commented in "PM Magazine": "After watching this movie, it is as if you have never really seen a movie before." In addition, his later feature films, including "The Ambersons", "Othello", "The Last Day", "The Trial" and "The Bells", etc., have received widespread praise from film critics. His unique directorial style is reflected in the layered and non-linear narrative structure, dramatic lighting arrangements, unique camera angles, sound effects techniques borrowed from broadcasting, deep focus shots, and the use of long takes. Due to the strong authorship reflected in his works, Welles has become a paradigm sample of the "ultimate auteur director" in the auteur theory. Welles was an outsider in the Hollywood studio system, fighting for artistic control with major studios in his early days and later relying largely on the support of independent investors across Europe to continue his creative career. Welles has won an Academy Award and three Grammy Awards, as well as the Golden Lion Award, the Palme d'Or, an Oscar Honorary Award,

Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck (German: Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck; April 1, 1815 - July 30, 1898), also known as Graf von Bismarck-Schönhausen (1865), Prince Bismarck (Fürst von Bismarck) Bismarck; 1871), Duke of Lauenburg (Herzog zu Lauenburg; 1890), a German politician and diplomat who served as Prime Minister of the North German Confederation from 1867 to 1871. When the German Empire was founded in 1871, he became the first Prime Minister of the German Empire until his resignation in 1890. Bismarck was born into the Junker class and rose quickly as a diplomat during the reign of King William I of Prussia. During the Prussian constitutional crisis in 1862, he was appointed Prime Minister by William I. In his fight against the liberals, Bismarck ignored the existence of parliament. Externally, he launched successive wars against Denmark and Austria from 1864 to 1866, turning the Prussian-dominated Little Germany plan into the answer to Germany's problems. He also promoted the establishment of the German Empire through the Franco-Prussian War from 1870 to 1871. As Prime Minister of the German Empire, Bismarck was committed to the balance of power in Europe. After Bismarck came to power in 1861, his domestic policies can be roughly divided into two parts. First, he formed an alliance with moderate liberals and implemented many political reforms, including the introduction of civil marriage, in order to confront the Catholic Church. Beginning in 1870, Bismarck began to distance himself from liberals, turned to the implementation of protection policies and economic intervention policies, and established a social insurance system. In the 1880s, the Socialist Law was pushed to suppress socialists. Bismarck had many differences with Wilhelm II, who came to the throne in 1888, and Bismarck was dismissed by the latter in 1890. After retiring as Prime Minister, Bismarck still occupied a political place and often criticized the policies of his successors. In addition, he wrote an autobiography called "Memories and Thoughts" for himself, which described his many contributions to Germany and the German people in his memory, and how he would continue to contribute to Germany and the German people. Until the middle of the 20th century, historians had always had a very positive evaluation of Bismarck, calling him an "iron-blooded slayer".

Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde (English: Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde, October 16, 1854 - November 30, 1900) was a poet and playwright born in Dublin, Ireland. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. He is best known for his epigrams and plays, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and his criminal conviction for consensual homosexuality in "one of the first celebrity trials". His parents were Anglo-Irish intellectuals from Dublin. The young Wilde learned to speak French and German fluently. In college, Wilde read the classics of the Greek and Roman eras; he proved himself a distinguished classicist first at Trinity College, Dublin, and then at Oxford University. Led by his two mentors, Walter Pater and John Ruskin, he became associated with the emerging philosophy of aestheticism. After graduating from university, Wilde moved to London to enter fashion culture and social circles. As a spokesman for aestheticism, he experimented with various literary activities: publishing collections of poetry, lecturing on the new "British Renaissance" and interior decoration in the United States and Canada, before returning to London to become a prolific journalist. Known for his razor-sharp wit, flamboyant dress, and conversational skills, Wilde became one of the most famous figures of his time. At the turn of the 1890s, he refined his vision of the primacy of art in a series of dialogues and essays, and incorporated themes of decadence, duplicity, and beauty into his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890). The opportunity to precisely construct aesthetic details and combine them with larger social themes attracted Wilde to writing plays. He wrote Salome (1891) in French while in Paris, but could not have it performed there because of a British ban on stage depictions of biblical themes at the time. In the early 1890s, Wilde wrote four social comedies that made him one of the best-known playwrights of late-Victorian London. At the height of his fame and success, while "No Child's Play" (1895) was still playing in London, Wilde sued the Marquess of Queensberry for libel. The Marquis was the father of Oscar Wilde's lover, Lord Alfred Douglas.

Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez (Spanish: Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, June 6, 1599 - August 6, 1660) was a painter of the late Renaissance, Baroque era, and Spanish Golden Age. He greatly inspired later painters. Francisco Goya considered him "one of his great teachers." He usually only painted what he saw, and the characters he painted were described as almost walking out of the picture; he also painted religious paintings, which were like the human world, full of tension and pain; the horses and dogs he painted were full of vitality. Due to Spain's strict religious policies, most of his works were originally collected in Madrid museums and were unknown to the outside world. During the French invasion of Spain in 1811, they became known to the outside world. However, the occupation forces did not destroy or steal these paintings because they wanted the public to appreciate them. After appraisal by the appraiser Curtis, 274 works of Velazquez exist in the world, of which 121 are in the UK, 13 in France, 12 in Austria, 7 in Russia, and 7 in Germany. However, Brut believes that only 14 of the works in the UK are his authentic works. Most of his remaining works are collected in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, with more than 60 pieces on display. Art historians divide his works into three periods, the first period before his first visit to Italy, and the third period after his second visit to Italy. However, Velazquez's works are rarely dated and can only be divided based on the painting style.
