In what ways does an economic system differ from a political system?
960329
Politics is a philosophy, even though it is categorized as a science, and currently economics is viewed as a science that is based on a mechanical worldview . However because of current and future problems that will arise with economics as a ridged science (as defined by Adam Smith in the 1700's) it is probable that economics will return to a philosophy of purpose and principle, i.e. consumer sovereignty is the cornerstone of competitive capitalism. Where as advertisement does not info the consumer but spews propaganda.

most economic/political systems can be successful models if followed to their definitions, but the fact is humans follow them thus they change and evolve into something else casted by human natural greed and evil, soviet union fell down though it was a communist system, china now has product of all sorts being sold all over the world from silly toys to electronics to cars u name it, any growing power has to be hated by other powers since it becomes a potential economic threat (if not consist other forms of threats as well)\n\nthis is the way i see it from the outside, takes someone living inside china to tell u how it works from the inside regarding how people feel and stuff, me i never been there, but i know one thing, i admire chinese culture in the sense that they originated a lot of good things (martial arts,homeopathic medicines and chinese food-yum)

Communism:\nPROs:  Proclaims equal distribution of goods amongst all men\nCONs:  Humanity---men will become lazy if they do not have to work for things and the redistribution of goods is pu in the hand of a governemnt that will inevitably become corrupt.\n\nFascism:\nPros:  An absolute authority with far-sweeping powers and control of most major arenas of commerce can bring a nation back to its feet and keep an economy rolling along smoothly.\nCons:  Humanity--as George Orwell said:  Absolute power corrupts absolutely.\nCapitalism:\nPros:  Minimal governemnt intrusion into the public arena.  Businesses can operate freely and, theoretically, people are more mobile in the social hierarchy.\nCons:  Humanity---in the above two instances it was the corruption of the governemnt, but now it is the corruption and possible cold-heartedness of the capitalists.  It basically becomes a second feudalism where fieifs are granted based on money and the serfs can do little to escape their status.

not sure. but my guess is how society changes in respect to it's opinions on politics- as in more or less liberal/conservative. or how politics and world events may affect a society in general.

The definition of economics is the allocation of scarce resources.  Either way you go, private or nationalized, someone goes "without".  The difference is that in the USA, most people get to choose that which they go without.  In Great Britain, you're taxed and then told what services you'll be provided. However, either way, nobody gets everything right away and some people never see the care they want or need.

In the thousands of years there have been politics, how can it be changed?\n\nYou have so many different points of views on so many things...\n\nThe world will only be a Utopian society when the Lord Jesus Christ comes back to rule it.\n\nWe have one of the best laid out political systems ever created.  Like it or not, we can debate without killing each other and without fear of going to jail for debating on the wrong side.  \n\nMaybe someone should research what life is like with a Dictatorship, or totalitarianism, or even Communism.\n\nGood Luck!

Voters, for one. To some degree, the economy. Random events, disasters [man-made and otherwise], acts of nature, etc. Also, other governments--their views, actions, etc--can influence policy, as well.

It goes beyond that - some of the basic principals upon which our economic system are very very flawed.  For more information read this book by Robert A. Heinlein.  While it is set as a novel, it is more a combination of essays about our antiquated, pre-technology social system.  He has a detailed appendix with provable examples of the problem with our economics system - it is fascinating.

Politics affect every aspect of your life from healthcare to the prices you pay for goods and services to crime levels. It affects life and death when countries go to war and medication available by the policies it makes.\nIt affects the law and punishments it even affects the media.\nLaws are created by politicians such as the legal age to drink alcohol.\nPolitics affects how schools are run and the amount of and work charities can do, or the countries we get the oranges from we buy in the shops.\n\nPolitics affects everything I could go on and on but I think I'd best stop here

The basic difference is that Republicans follow a conservative philosophy and Democrats follow a liberal philosophy. \n\nA liberal would say that a proper role for government is to regulate and oversee the economy. Liberals say it's proper for government to ensure that companies do the right thing (such as pay minimum wages), and to ensure that people act responsibly in their finances (such as requiring contributions to retirement savings).\n\nA conservative would say that a proper role for government is to regulate and oversee morality. Conservatives say it's proper for government to ensure that people are punished for immoral acts (such as taking drugs), and that people act appropriately in their marriages (such as banning homosexual marriage).\n\nA libertarian would say that neither of those is a proper role for government. Libertarians say that the only proper role is to maintain an army for defense against invasion, to maintain a court system for ensuring justice, and other constitutionally defined roles. \n\nA populist would say that both economic and moral intervention are proper roles for government. \n\nSome people classify libertarians as conservatives and some classify populists as liberals. Those definitions fall apart when libertarians talk about moral issues like abortion (pro-choice) or drugs (pro-legalization). \n\nRalph Nader and Pat Buchanan both consider themselves "populists," but the press usually classifies Nader as liberal and Buchanan as conservative. Yet they agree entirely on their most important issue, opposing free trade and globalization. \n\nThe problem with a one-dimensional definition like liberal and conservative is that it doesn't define well political reality. The two-dimensional definition is better.

Actually, the answer could be yes. Because politics have a way of "dividing" people and groups, the way it divides is the key element.\n\nPolitics may include the struggle between the wealthy and the poor; or it may be divided by geographical location; and it can also include the division of the religious or not.\n\nThe whole purpose of politics is for political power to create, support and enforce new ideas or legislation. But as said before, "how" politics is run is determined by the way people play on the role.

How can you differentiate .  A democratic government is based on a democratic parliament which is based on a democratic government and so on and so forth there is no difference

What's the difference between a physical and political map?\n\nAnswer\nExactly what the words say. A physical map shows the physical features of an area; mountains, lakes, rivers, coastlines, and so on. Often the positions of large towns and roads are also shown as reference points and because these are, after all, physical features albeit artificial ones. Physical maps are usually colored according to height or vegetation.\n\nThe political map shows state, county and national boundaries; lines on the map which rarely actually exist on the ground. Colours on a political map represent jurisdictions, reflecting politicl rather than physical characteristics of the area mapped. \n\nAnswer\nthe different is that a physical map is shown to physial feature of an area n a poltocal map ie responible for most the out ine of the map \n\nAnswer\nPysical maps are with pyiscal things like moutians and lakes and political maps show like state cities and boundaries.
