Politics and economics are almost inseparable and the interplay between the two can be an interesting phenomenon to observe. Although the two are inseparable, they seem to oppose each other, economics being a rational discipline based on efficiency and the way things ought to run, juxtaposed with international politics which is often influenced by greed and electoral calculations. This blog is going to concentrate on these two opposing forces, commenting on economics, globalization and political factors that drive economic policy decisions.
