Theoretical and Applied Economics
No. 8 / 2008 (525)
The shortcut
„Political Economics has been, including in its theoretical formulation, something important in as far as (and only to that extent...) it has shown where exactly must the government find the truth principle of its own governmental policy.”
The temptation of ideological solutions to the problems of the economy has a cause: the economic is the most accessible goal of the politic. As long as politics is the pure management of power, it will do without the substance of control over people. So far no other formula for the efficient long-term control has been invented, other than that of the redistribution of wealth. This is how politics has become the acting universe through which the recipes for the access to resources are drawn, including the access to the final resource which is wealth.
