Jose Luis Bustamante y Rivero vs Mark Carney

Bustamante y Rivero won the 1945 presidential election as the candidate of the National Democratic Front, a coalition that included the reformist APRA party. His victory marked a return to civilian rule after years of military government.

General Manuel Odria led a military coup that overthrew President Bustamante y Rivero. The coup was triggered by Bustamante's inability to control inflation and his conflict with the APRA party, which led to a naval mutiny and political crisis.

After being overthrown, Bustamante y Rivero was exiled to Argentina. He lived there for several years, writing and reflecting on his presidency and the state of Peruvian democracy.

Bustamante y Rivero was elected President of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague. He served in this role until 1970, presiding over several important international disputes and contributing to the development of international law.

Carney was appointed as the 8th Governor of the Bank of Canada, taking office during the global financial crisis. He led the bank's response, including cutting interest rates to historic lows and implementing unconventional monetary policies to stabilize the Canadian economy.

Carney became the 120th Governor of the Bank of England, the first non-British citizen to hold the post. He oversaw the bank's response to the aftermath of the financial crisis and the Brexit referendum, including forward guidance and quantitative easing.

Following the Brexit referendum, Carney led the Bank of England's immediate response, cutting interest rates and launching a new round of quantitative easing to support the UK economy. His actions were credited with preventing a financial panic.

Carney was appointed as the UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance, focusing on mobilizing private finance for the transition to a net-zero economy. He advocated for climate-related financial disclosures and green investment.

Carney was elected as the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, succeeding Justin Trudeau. His election marked a shift from central banking to political leadership, with a focus on economic and climate policy.
